Title: Amazon.com has turbo games
Post by: BigusSchmuck on November 24, 2011, 01:59:59 PM
Can't say some of the prices aren't much better than Ebay, but there you have it.

I bought my first ever Turbo game back a few years ago on Amazon.

It depends on when you go on there. I bought my copies of YS 1&2 and Ys III on there. I think I got free shipping since they both qualified for it and ended up getting both for $17 a piece which is pretty good.

True, but I wish Amazon required sellers to supply pics of their wears like most eBayers do.

I must admit, I never think about going to amazon.com for retro games. The selection here, though, is a heck of a lot better than the yahoo.market.whatever from back in the day.

Sadly, amazon.com doesn't filter out garbage like this (only $12.29 (http://www.amazon.com/Turbogarafx-16-including-Laseractive-Supergrafx-Turboexpress/dp/1242950877/ref=sr_1_40?ie=UTF8&qid=1322607089&sr=8-40)):

That's the reason that I have never bought from them, people use stock photos and not much details

There's nothing wrong with Amazon in general, but I would never spend more than like $20 on a single game just because I've been burned with re-seals basically 100% of the time.  I don't even know if burned is the right word since the prices were cheap, just, like, if the game is already in great condition why even try to fake it.
