Someone in North America now has a kick ass collection of Keith Courage and TV Sports games. Congrats.

Damn, that's a lot of copies of Keith Courage and TV Sports Football.  I bet the TG16 isn't even RGB-modded.  I hope he didn't pay too much.

Its called sarcasm, but considering it's you who didn't get it, I'm not surprised. It is pretty humorous though that like some cock sucking vampire, you are right there on the scene to try to suck the life's blood out of the guys lucky find by trying to buy the proto cd-rs and manuals off him, and telling him his Super System Card is "mostly useless". You can't even get your shit straight. He also had Shadow of the Beast, Prince of Persia, and Shape Shifter proto for Super Cd, so hardly useless there by any means, and he can always buy more games.

So, nothing in this list is SUPER RARE, but you've got a bunch of the late TTI releases that can be pricy (40-80).

Bomberman 93, Samurai Ghost, Dead Moon, Ghost Manor, Air Zonk, Time Cruise, Jackie Chan, and etc are all pretty valuable titles.

I'd be interested in some of those manuals, if you'd be willing to part with them.

Also, those CDRs and that handwritten baseball game :)

EDIT: Oh, by far the most valuable piece is that super system card, which complete goes for $150 - 300, depending on your buyer.

The super system card acts as a v3.0 CD bios plus extra system RAM, which allows you to play Super CD games, like Gate of Thunder, Cotton, Dungeon Explorer 2, Godzilla, Super Air Zonk, and etc, on the TurboCD attachment. Note that the Turbo Duo came with this BIOS and RAM built in, so the card was only necessary for attachment owners. I believe it was a mail-order only, hence its extreme rarity.

Thing is, there really isn't a single cheap super CD game. Even John Madden is $30-40. You do have Gate of Thunder, but the rest of your CD games are all normal Turbo CDs, so the card is mostly useless to you, and the $10-20 v2.0 CD card would work for those.

I already told him the price (including the high end). Clearly I was out to scam him.

P.S. I already have a CIC Super System 3 Card.

I don't know, I guess its all in the wording. I don't know enough to prove anything, but it looks like you threw on your elve slippers and cape and flew in to scalp a noob.

By telling him honest price ranges on something I'm not interested in? I'm the worst scalper ever.

Maybe you're just stupid?  If you think about it, it would explain a lot...

No one directly said scam. Thats your words, not ours. Coming from a guilty conscience maybe? The fact remains, you are pathetic. Right off the bat you are trying to buy shit off the guy instead of just congratulation him and telling him to enjoy the stuff, and you are giving him completely false info on what Super Cd titles he has and how useless his Super System card was. You didn't even begin to mention how cheap import titles could be purchased for on ebay and elsewhere for Cd and Super Cd. You also did not give him a link or invite to join here so that he could be among new found brothers and get access to tons of information. Very very classy of you....

Man, why didn't I invite him here? Everyone is just so nice <3 !

Yes, I was wrong about the Super CDs. Jesus, harp on one throw away comment, that was admittedly wrong.
