I offered him a good amount of cash for it but he says hes keeping it. Hope he does. We headed back to that swap meet today and found this along with a few other common titles. I already have one and he's not really interested in keeping it. So hes entertaining offers if anyones looking for one. It was only $3. Shoot him an email rrob78@hotmail.com Now i dont know what hes asking for it but hit him up and see. He does trades too!

Seriously? Pick it up for me and I'll send you paypal payment as a gift!
I think you guys are misunderstanding. It was $3 when they bought it, and they are entertaining offers on it.
#1, they didn't leave it behind.
#2, they aren't selling it for only $3.
#3, they most likely know what it is worth, and are possibly willing to sell it at a reasonable price.
No misunderstanding here... I know he got it for $3 so of course I'll offer him more. Everyone likes a bit of profit. $4.50 should do it, but I'd go up to $10 for it. :wink:

Hey thats my hand holding the Super System Card 3.0, lol. I actually picked it up for $2.50, but not sure if I'm keeping it still, I only have a TG-16 but will entertain offers. rrob78@hotmail.com, as syphic.

So did I... so other than DE2 and the SS3.0 Card, out of curiosity, what else did you find at the swap meet that was Turbo related?
Title: Re: Dungeon Explorer 2 for $1
Post by: rrob78 on October 08, 2012, 03:09:15 AM
Yup got it this morning just as I started work. I'll be posting up the rest of what I picked up with the Super System Card after I get home from work, also a couple of Craigslist deals I got with the help of Syphic, he has really helped me out big time with the TG-16. He even offered Magical Chase to me, I was too modest so I turned it down, lol.

Well, I wasn't the one who found Dungeon Explorer 2, that was a new guy we found on youtube who hits up the same swap meets/flea markets Syphic and I go to. But off the top of my head I found Y's Book 1 & 2, Bonk's Adventure, Bloodwolf, Turrigan, Military Madness & Legendary Axe aside from the Super System Card. Also last Friday, I picked up a TG-16 system with 5 games, China Warrior, Dungeon Explorer, World Class Baseball, Legendary Axe, Keith Courage.

Find TG stuff in the wild is like finding a leprechaun. It doesn't happen.
I sent you an email with a modest offer for the SS 3.0 card.

True. Years ago, I used to go to the flea markets all the time and I've never came across any good Turbo stuff. I've found some pretty rare stuff like prototype games, Neo Geo stuff and testing/dev stuff before, but NEVER any good Turbo items.
Where is this 'magical' swap meet you guys speak of? SoCal? I'll be there at the next one, and will be sure to capture some video of me snagging Magical Chase, Dynastic Hero, PCE LT and a Vistar that you guys missed. :lol:
Seriously tho, nice finds!

Yes we are in Socal. I have been hitting the swap meets for about 5 years now and it wasnt up until this summer that we began to see Turbo Stuff. Rrob78 & Retrohungry found their lots at vendors selling music cd's and dvds. These swap meet vendors buy these cd's in bulk at Goodwills wholesale locations (there are 2 in Socal that i know of) liquidations from old music stores, & Storage units. Ive actually found some good dreamcast & Ps1 titles mixed in with these music cd's. Rrob78 & rertohungry got the lucky batch this weekend. Lucky Bastards!

That's not just luck, it's crazy good luck that other vendors/resellers didn't pick through all those CDs first thing in the morning. BTW, rrob78, I've been subbed to your YT channel for a while. Welcome to the forum!

I know, Im surprised that weren't picked, but a lot of the resellers only look for Mario or Sonic. Thanks for being subbed to my YT channel, and thanks for welcoming me to the forums. Do you have a YT channel, What is it?

You were definitely at the right flea market at the right time. I didn't hit a single flea market this year and now the summer is already over. I cringe at the thought I may have missed finds like yours and Syphic's :cry:
I do have a YT channel (name is Nolody), but I don't actively post videos. I watch a lot of gaming channels and vloggers.

I think I'd get excited even if I found Keith Courage in the wild, but it hasn't happened.
Title: Re: Dungeon Explorer 2 for $1
Post by: rrob78 on October 09, 2012, 05:05:58 AM
I was excited that I even found Keith Courage, since my copy was Hucard only.
