@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

So, with my recent purchase of a PC-Engine Duo (with region mod), there are a few pricier games I've had my eye on. I'm willing to pay a fair amount, but I don't want to overpay for a game. So, what are the average, reasonable prices for these games (the English versions)?

My only dealing so far is with Keith Courage; so, I'll list my eBay account as support for reliability. If you want to make sure it's my account, send a message and I'll reply to it!

Awesome. Good to see another member back up Keith Courage. I've left him a private message; so, I'll twiddle my thumbs, go to work in the morning, and hope to see a reply within the week.

I'm sure you guys get a lot of these and I've seen quite a few go unanswered. I'm looking to buy either a CoreGrafx I or II with the CD attachment, the Duo-R, or the Duo-RX.

It took awhile for me to get approved on here, as seems to be the case with a lot of people, so I haven't built up any sort of reputation on this forum. All I can offer is my eBay account history, which can be found here:
http://myworld.ebay.com/sm_chronos.
It's an older name that I'm stuck with, but if you send me a message on eBay, I can confirm it's my account.

Anyway, I'm hoping you guys will be nice to me since I honestly have no idea what a reasonable price is for these systems and units. I've read that the CD attachment combined with a normal unit is more expensive these days than buying a Duo. I've also read that the normal Duo has an issue with the location of the capacitors; so, they end up burning out quickly, which is why people recommend getting a Duo-R or Duo-RX. I also know that the SuperGrafx is usually priced a lot higher and the games are very expensive, but if that's the best option I'm given, I wouldn't be opposed to paying.

I've only seen prices on eBay, which I've read are frequently inflated to ridiculous prices. Combined with the high cost of shipping, it makes the total cost very high. So, I'm hoping you guys can either point me to a reasonable auction (I'm sure all of the "steal deals" are taken as soon as noticed) or offer me something.

I've never owned a TurboGrafx or PC-Engine; so, I'm hoping to get started and wanted to include the CDs in the mix. Can anyone help me out? I'm located in the United States; so, that's where the items would need to be shipped.

Posts here or private messages work! If there are topics about pricing that you can point me to, I'd be very grateful!

[EDIT]
Thanks for all of the replies, everyone! I bought a PC-Engine Duo from Keith Courage with quite a few games in tow! So, I'm finished looking for a console for now! Thanks again for all of the support!
