Title: Price Check on TG16/CD
Post by: toymachine78 on March 24, 2014, 02:06:04 AM
What do yo guys feel is a fair price for a fully functioning TG16 and CD unit that is in great shape? No mods, unit is standard. The CDROM2 Was serviced by Keith Courage and works great. This would also include a Super System Card CIC, and the hardshell carrying case.

I want to get a unit like the one Bernie just sold, but will need to sell my original first.

I have 3 of these and I would think that about $350 would be a fair number based upon what I spent to get mine.

Why do you have three?

If the Super System Card is the American release, I think the value would be a little higher than $350.00.

Alright 3 things here, one just sold on e-bay without the 3.0 card this month for $200. Next You can score the 3.0 card for $150 to $175 so if we do the math that makes what?.... Lastly I have 3 of them for 3 reasons. I got 2 of them for under $100. Next the cd drives like to break and to finish I collect the system....... I may be new, but I do not go around bashing on people's posts. I am only trying to help and get help. I realize that this is a forum, but let's relax a little.

And one sold for $350, Mr. Mouth.   You're not an authority on value or anything else.

P.S. - no comment on the seller

I can see why there are not a whole lot of new members now.... If someone asks for a price and the question is answered, how does that make people upset?  Some people need to find better things to do with their time....

Some people just come over here to leech over the community by asking for R@R3s and asking for price checks so they can acquire their warez at rock bottom prices without contributing anything of value to this community. They say they are fans of the system, but their collectard attitudes say otherwise; displaying their games as trophies rather than actually playing the games. We can definitely do without those types of people. No disrespect is meant to the OP as he has participated in other areas of the forum.

Nobody is mad but you.  Flare opined that $350 is low (his opinion is no less valid than your own), two others questioned why anyone would have three tg-cd setups (which is rather unusual), and then you got all uppity and self-righteous.

maybe after 100 posts and some face time folks can ask direct values. but if youve got three, and are still asking, then why?

Post by: madboom0522 on March 25, 2014, 06:30:39 AM
I did not ask anything about the price on this system. I only asked about how many copies of magical where made. I only tried to answer someone with what info I had. My intent is not to offend anyone. I am just trying to learn more and help if I can. If something feels like an attack, would you not defend? Just because someone is new to this forum, does not mean they might not have anything to offer. I am not the type of person who has time for rumors or to waste anyone's time.

I was only price checking to get a realistic appraisal of what I am sitting on. The Duo that Bernie just sold was one sexy machine, at a terrific price. I would sale my original to obtain a setup like that. I was talking to Turbokon about component modding my current unit anyway.

Hey Boom since you are a collector maybe you would like to own a fourth? That wouldn't be strange would it? But you have to post a picture of you playing all four simultaneously with both hands and feet lol.

Now maybe if I did not have so many back ups then I would make an offer to you. However that might upset some others on here....

Again, nobody here would get mad..... except you when someone would give you a hard time about it.  Do you see others getting all worked up when someone questions their syscard/popful/hairdryer habits?  Nope, because they've got a sense of humor.

 How do you want someone to know if you are joking when they are new on here? I get the whole hazing thing.

  Best rule of thumb: if in doubt take it as comical sarcasm. There is no tone in email/ texts/ and such. So you can't read too much into it.

Or just laugh it off even if it is meant to be mean.  Life's too short to give too many f*cks on the internet.
