How often do you find TG-16 and TG-CD in the wild?

Quote from: EvilEvoIX on 02/20/2015, 01:57 PMCraigslist, but you gotta be quick before anyone else gets to them. I got me some cheap AES games, like $20 a game for US versions, NES stuff, a TG16 for like $20. Deals are always out there.

Yes they are! But like you said, you snooze you lose!

I live in Atlantic Canada. I've seen a console with Keith courage for 150 bucks at a pawn shop, and darkwing duck for 95 bucks hucard only at the one game store we have. It sucks trying to play retro games here.

Even if those are Canadian Dollahs, those prices are too high.

That's just the way it is in these parts for any retro games. Always over - priced and seldom seen.

On my last trip to the flea market, I saw my first one. A loose Keith Courage huey for $35.

In my location, I never see a Turbo anything. I had to drive out of state just to purchase my TG16 back during its hey day. Even NES, SNES, and Genesis games are rare any more. There seems to be an abundance of PS2, XBOX, and Wii games. And they are mostly sports related. I depend heavily on the net for anything retro in gaming.

Yeah I was at a retro game store last Saturday and they had a Keith Courage loose with a price tag of $34 or very similar.

I just rolled my eyes and kept on walking.

I didn't even see a tg-16 system where he had his test systems.

walking away is all you can do.

He's a newer seller, he'll learn or close up like so many others.

I just wonder where they get that price from. I have seen stores sell for ebay prices or slightly above, but what data shows that Keith Courage is a 30 dollar game?

I find the local retro stores tend to mark up the really popular or hallmark kind of stuff. Like super mario world or sonic 2 for 30$, because people will buy it. Maybe they figured keith courage would be similar to tg16
