What's the going price for a refurbed TG-CD these days?

I already have a nice Duo-R to play CD stuff but I'm pretty damn tempted to pick up a TG-CD for the region modded TG-16 I picked up recently. What do you guys think is a good price for a refurbed TG-CD? I'm not looking for the carrying case or anything else, just the drive and dock.

I got one for $130 shipped with sys 2.0 card a while back. I'd say around $35 -45 for the dock and 70 -80 for the cd unit. = $105 - $125 range for a pretty good deal.

Just paid 80 shipped for my Turbo CD unit, that had been refurbished. Keep in mind, the pce CD unit will work as well.

For the drive+dock or just the drive by itself?

This was just for the unit itself. I dont really care for the USA dock set-up, so I use mine in a briefcase unit.

Here's another question, given the choice between picking up a refurbed TG-CD and region modding a Duo-R, which would you guys pick? I know the Duo-R is more practical from every standpoint and I can region mod it at any time, but goddamn do I have the urge to pick up a TG-CD plus Arcade Card.

You're making it hard on yourself by trying to choose just one system. There's nothing wrong with owning multiple systems. I'd get the TG-CD setup in addition to the Duo R. Just be patient and find a good deal. While your at it, go get a PCE briefcase system too.

If I was forced to pick one, I would go with the TG-CD just because I really wanted one when they were being sold in stores.

Then you should definitely get a TG-CD and ACD PRO.

I already own a Duo-R (RGB modded even) but I'm wondering if I should save my money and region mod my Duo-R, or save the big bucks for the TG-CD. My setup's getting cramped as it is, so it's either mod the Duo and put away the TG-16, or grab the TG-CD and box up the Duo. A briefcase setup would be cool to have, but a few of the expansion port pins on my white PCE are fuxxored which messes that up.
