My instant turbografx collection.

[DildoKKKobold]

Went to an estate sale about 3 months ago... after wanting a turbografx for a long time, I managed to pick-up a pretty huge lot, making for an instant TG-16 collection. I'd rather not say what I paid, but it wasn't much, compared to what I got. I also got lots of Sega and 3DO stuff, but I figured you guys would just want to see the turbo part of the haul.

[Dyna138]

While I don't know how much you paid looks like you got a lot of great stuff and a couple of rare games. Too bad there isn't a Magical Chase in there somewhere.

Looks like a great haul.  I'd be curious to know what you paid.  How about you tell us if it was < 1K?

[PunkCryborg]

Nice sweet haul with some excellent dupes that'll make great trade fodder for more turbo stuff!

It was less than $1k, with the 3do and Sega stuff. Also, the cats been around and eating for quite some time ;)

[Jugbug]

Nice find.  Given the Japanese hucards, were any of those systems region modded?

[Nando]

NICE!

Under $300?

Lol @ cat comment.

[Tatsujin]

nice hauly for shore

[T2KFreeker]

Awesome. Very cool stuff you got there.

[Frank_fjs]

Nice haul!

I want to see the SEGA stuff.

[PikachuWarrior]

Lovely haul! It's great getting lots at a great price, rather than buying everything separately.

[KnightWarrior]

Nice Haul...

[BigusSchmuck]

How much for the cat? Joking aside, I hope you are willing to perhaps trade some of your duplicates or sell em for a good price.

I've had a trade thread here, but most people just want to buy.

I've gone a lil' crazy on ebay, trying to fill some holes in the collection. I made this, from a poster here, to keep track of everything I still need.

[Deletion]

Damn. Did you know all these goodies were part of the estate sale beforehand?

[Samurai Ghost]

Awesome haul. Nice Terraforming in particular!

[JoshTurboTrollX]

that is pretty god damn spectacular Dark Kobald.

If you aren't instantly hooked for life with all of that, then you don't have a soul.

'grats!!

[FiftyQuid]

Would love to buy a Gate of Thunder, Y's I&II and Lords of Thunder off ya.  Looks like you have a few to spare. 

[Samurai Ghost]

Yeah you need to keep up the good turbo karma by selling your dupes at a reasonable price on here!

[khog143]

Pretty badass haul there, an instant collection for sure.  I would also be interested in the Sega/3DO portion of the haul to see what rounded out this purchase.  Did everything for the other two systems come boxed?

[willis]

Damn nice find. now why can't I just get lucky and find a huge lot of valuables haha!

Nice to see that there are still turbo stuff floating out there still in boxes

[PikachuWarrior]

It was an estate sale, probably meaning the original owner didn't 100% intend to sell, but had no choice type of situation.

"The most common reason for an estate sale is the death of the property owner, and the consequent need to quickly liquidate the deceased's belongings. The survivors may have no interest in the bulk of the personal belongings left by the deceased, or may simply lack space to keep the belongings. In situations in which the survivors cannot agree to the disposition of tangible property, a court may order the goods to be sold in an estate sale with the proceeds to be divided among the survivors. Such a sale and division may also be mandated in the will of the deceased.
An estate sale may also occur because the property owner will be moving or has moved into a situation where he will be unable to keep his property—for example, a move to an assisted living facility, a retirement community, a rest home, or other living quarters."

Meh, you can find a lot like this anywhere.

Just kidding... Good for you. I dream of finding a pile like this at auctions and estate sales.
Where are you located to find such a score?

[geise]

All I gotta say is HELL YEAH!  OVERIDE!   Keep that game, but definitely trade your dupes for other games.  That's an awesome find.  You have what took me majority of 6 years when the turbo was first released.  Now ignore everyone that's bugging you for games and go play that shit!.

[CPTRAVE]

Wow, that is awesome. What state was the Estate sale at?

Hopefully you are thinking about trading or selling off your dupes.

This is correct, it was a very old video game collector who had recently passed due to cancer. He had one of the single most impressive atari collections ever in existence - 100s of boxed games, including Chase the Chuck Wagon, Spy Hunter, Halloween, and more. His son was trying to clean out the basement FULL of video game stuff.

 I am only slightly interested in Atari, but I was very interested in Turbografx, so I bought everything TG we could find. Also got close to 80 3do games, some still sealed. Also got some nice Genesis stuff, and some Atari Adult titles.

[Samurai Ghost]

Nice! Are you interested in trading/selling any of it or is it strictly for your own collection?

[Flare65]

Not sure what intend on doing with it, but I'd make an offer on some of those games.  If you are entertaining offers, let me know.

[DildoKKKobold]

All of the non-duplicate things I'm keeping for myself, no matter what. I also would much rather get items I need for my collection than sell for cash, atm. I've actually been buying more turbo stuff, than getting rid of any of it.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Nice haul.  I'm glad to hear you're keeping it, rather than it going to some reseller goon that'd list it all as OMG RAREZ L@@K! with elebentyjillion$ BINs.

[Bardoly]

Great find!

I just wish that I could find the guy that I traded off my previous TurboGrafx-16 collection and get some of it back from him.

[Arkhan Asylum]

You're such a douche, in the most positive way possible.

lol.

all I find at estate sales are cups and shit from the 1970s

[420GOAT]

cat dont give a shit!!

[PikachuWarrior]

I like how people are vultures when the original topic poster made this topic. "Me want your games!"

It's rude to demand or ask up front imo. I would have done it through PM. Whatevs

Plenty of people did both ;) Also, a lot of people asked prices on my empty boxes. I didn't really have an answer for them. If I'm getting money instead of TG stuff, obviously I want to maximize it to spend on ... TG stuff.

But seriously, for the time being, I'm building my TG-16 collection, now that I finally have one.

Last estate sale I was at I found a Genesis 3 boxed. However, I didn't buy but now realize I probably should have, sadly. I personally would love to see what you got in the 3DO department though. I'm one of the few here that actually loves that system and have one with quite a few games too!

[DrBread]

This... is... i hate you!

No but seriously great find man!

[kiketonto]

Nice collectio you got here!
And nice cat too...

[esteban]

DarkKkobold, you bastard.

You god-damned bastard.

That said, congratulations .

If you have any printed/published magazines/brochures from your haul, I'd love to hear about it.

Thank you .
