This baby has seen a lot of use, however, I have figured out how to use my TED as a system card.  Hope it goes to a good home.

I listed it on eBay before listing here.  Whats wrong with having a dual listing?  I often list things for sale on NintendoAge and eBay at the same time.  What's wrong with that?  I am giving a discount to PC Engine FX Forum members. 

I am also going to be raffling off another game soon.  Stay tuned.

ehhhh, honestly, its not really a discount sine the ebay fee ia going to net you pretty close to asking price here.  i would say its same price in two avenues.

also, the other problem... nintendoage.  a wise man once said... "dont fly that flag around here, it doesnt help your case at all."

good luck on the raffle.

People hate on NA so much here.  I like it.  I also like the Iso Zone too.  I have made some trades and sales on there and they have great rips of games.

I see your point about the eBay fees.  I will probably discount it more if I don't get any takers.

I was thinking Tricky Kick or Boxy Boy for the raffle.  Maybe something else.  Just got a large lot of Turbo stuff in including Bonk III.  Happy to finally have that in my collection.

I am throwing this out there as a question not a detractiok to this sellers thread.


Question to allmemmebers:

Do you feel the recently turbo everdrive which can double as a system card 3.0 has now made the official system card obsolete to even collectors?

Seeing how systems cards are simply a gate way to play super cd games on no. Duo systems having a cheaper option.

The old thought of "collectors want original" to me doesn't hold water when we are talking about a system card. Similarly to say the back up memory for a sega cd games. Sure you can buy an original game saver or a new 3rd party that's cheaper and holds something like 4X more.

[CrackTiger]

The TurboGrafx Super CD System Card was obsolete years before the TED. Just as Turbo hardware is less functional than PCE hardware and their value is made up more by collectibility. This will never change.

[Medic_wheat]

I guess since I am more prone to pick the cheapest option with similar or same results I have a skewed opinion.

True I opt for original hardware and original games. However I always opt for the cheapest option to accomplish those goals.

Mysterious Song?  It's still for sale on eBay for $50.  The only other thing I can remember people getting on my case about here was my sealed Dragon Slayer.  That was a truly epic thread.  Good times.  It was when I first started here.  I even got temporarily banned.  Good stuff.  I had a blast with it.  I was asking $450 for the Dragon Slayer.  It never sold at that price.  Hung onto it for a few more years before finally selling it for around $200 I think.  I thought that was a steal for the guy who bought it honestly.

We have explained this a long, long, time ago: if you actually discussed the games/music/artwork/advertisements/history/etc. of any game/hardware, then you would have much more fun here.

We can't help but feel that pcefx is just one of several venues to sell your goods/"make deals"/"get lucky" and buy stuff cheap...

I would love to be proven wrong on this, by the way

Well i just finished fapping to this thread. Now that the important stuff is done...lets turn this thread around! Comon What would Rick from Splatterhouse do in this situation?.....hmm....maybe we dont want that answer...

I really just thought it was funny. "I'm using an everdrive as a sys card now. Here is my old sys card for sale for a lot of money. I know you could buy an everdrive for half the price but, here it is."

Not the best sales tactic. ;)

Ahhhh......

I see your point now.  It is funny.

There are people out there, though, that want the original hardware. I personally don't see the point now that the Everdrive can handle the ram requirements of the CD system.  However, I currently have a standing offer of $150.  Probably gonna take it.

"I never gouged anyone/anything, I only tried to and after I got caught, I lowered the price to less of a gouge and it still hasn't sold, proving how out of touch I am with retro game pricing".

The last copy of Mysterious Song to successfully sell on eBay only got a single bid at auction and sold for $20.

The most valuable/collectible part of Turbo goods is the case/packaging. Which is why the box or case often sells for more than the game with manual does. The last 3 CIC/CIB Turbo Super CD cards sold on eBay went for $250 each.

I agree with this some people amaze me at how much they want to overpay for a US version of a system.  I was on NA the other day and some guy was wanting to buy a neo geo aes and he would rather pay $600 for the US version than less than half that for a Japanese system.

As far as I know the only difference is the bios chip, RF shielding, and an FCC sticker.  To each their own but all you have to do to the Japanese AES is add a universe bios and problem solved.

No, I don't think you're Hitler.  It's just funny when people that consistently do shitty things argue that they're truly princes among men.

How is selling an item at market value a shitty thing?

[Otaking]

Dude you sell items such as Dragon Slayer and Mysterious Song trying to milk the absolute maximum value you possibly can get. Then come on here and snap up bargains such as Lords of Thunder being sold for half market value to forum members.

Sell high, buy low, it's a great ethic i guess.

Anyways when the Ghost of Christmas Past visits you on Christmas Eve he'll explain it all.

Sell high, buy low, it's great ethic i guess.

So let's use logic to evaluate this claim.  I buy items under market value and sell them at a higher value.  Now I didn't force anyone to sell at a lower value.  They are willing to do this.  Also, people are willing to pay the higher price.  No one is forcing them.  Why is this wrong?  I am a businessman.  That's what I went to school for and I have a finance job.  I like to make money.  I have a wife and young daughter to support. 

I do the same thing in the stock market.  Or at least I try.  No one has a crystal ball. 

It seems to me that buying low and selling high is just good business.  I just don't know how this makes me a bad person?  And, by the way, I am giving the LOT away as a Xmas gift to a good friend of mine.  I am also giving him a TurboGrafx 16 system with all the hook ups and the CD Base attachment so he has AV Composite out access.  He is on his own to get the CD player however.  I can send pics of us playing the system together if you guys want.  Might make for a cool and interesting thread.  I am seeing him and his family on the 26th.  Spending Christmas day with my immediate family.

[Otaking]

Yeah sure I'll explain.
You say "I'm a Businessman", to let you know this forum is not a business opertunity, it's a forum for enthusiasts to discuss a common interest and sometimes it's members help each other out by offering below market value deal to help others enjoy the games not to help a "businessman" make a great deal.

[tbone3969]

No, I don't think you're Hitler.  It's just funny when people that consistently do shitty things argue that they're truly princes among men.

I have thought about this and your right in the sense that people should be judged by their actions, that's for sure.  However, I would argue that all you know of me is what I write on this forum and the transactions I have made here and on other sites such as NA and eBay.  I have very good feedback on all those sites, pretty much perfect, and I have never screwed anyone over.  Not to mention that, percentage wise, the amount of actions exposed to you and the members of this site is a minuscule percentage compared to the total actions I have made in my thirty seven years on this planet.

Ok well that was never explained to me when I joined.  This also seems to be a unique position for a site like this to be in as other similar sites I have done business on aren't like this one (NA, IsoZone, eBay, etc). 

I do chime in on other threads besides buying and selling threads on here as well.  Mods can check my usage to prove it.  Even recently I have given advice to members when they needed help getting their system up and running.  I have also raffled off a game and will be doing another raffle after Xmas.

Why do think CPTRAVE sold those games on here at those prices?? he could of easily jumped on eBay and got twice as much, this wasn't some clever business move you made, you exploited someone's kindness who was trying helpout fellow forum members.

[NecroPhile]

Like otaking said, this is supposed to be a community.  It's not intended to be a market place for leeches to make a buck.

And don't act stupid about why you continually get flak.  This isn't the first time we've had this debate.

..... nor do I give a fuck about your dealings elsewhere.  We've seen enough to know it's not an isolated incident, and your own posts show that padding your wallet is your top priority.

Well do you feel the same knowing that I am not selling the LOT and giving it to a friend who wants a TurboGrafx?  Your argument kinda breaks down in this case as I am not re-selling it.
