Sure you could.  You could burn your own cds and load roms on a flashcart too, but that doesn't mean it's the same thing.

Not to say that this thing is worth big monies (it sure as shit ain't to me), but they're trying to gouge based on perceived rarity and collectability, not because some casual joe has no other options for storing their TE.

Dude, that's a fair price.  The TurboGrafx16 "NES RF Adapter" Edition was released in very small quantities... plus, there are some nice mint-condition-complete rares included, such as Victory Run and Klax.
He is also gracious enough to include "one controller that is broke" you know "in case someone might want if for parts"

It's definitely against eBay policy (not to mention illegal) and they most certainly won't do anything about it. But it does look like he did a nice job of the discs and cases.

Too bad the system has no good games.   :mrgreen:

If nobody buys from him he eventually sells them at a normal price.  I have actually bought a game or two from him at normal prices after it did not sell for weeks and weeks of him relisting.

Good Ol' lakewood NJ - LOL. They got a ton of crap in a warehouse to sell.   BUYYYYYYYYYYY now. Also your book may come with:

Homeless spitle from the tent city
Gun and Drug Violence Blood
Latin King Membership Reg. Card
Motzo

For those greater NYCers that last item goes along with some pretty good Jewish Delis if you know where to look.

Ehh....

Not sure what to say here.
I couldn't be bothered to read all the text.  I like my paragraphs to have more than one period in them.  The price would be in line to what crap is selling for on eBay if everything was complete.  It's all loose though.  eBay has turned into an online store, not an auction website.
