Post by: toymachine78 on July 25, 2014, 12:53:42 AM

Wow that's actually a crazy good price for a Duo, and for a Duo and Valis 3 that's insane!!

If I didn't already have a PC Engine Duo this would be quite the tantalizing offer...

Eh, maybe if it had undergone full capacitor replacement and some kind of video mod (S-Video or our new YPbPr one)... I guess I'd have to research how much they've been selling this year, but for that much money, I think it should have had recapping and video modding of some kind. Hm, well, left out the Valis III inclusion, that'd be another thing, to see how much it's been selling lately.

I bought my US duo stock on ebay including shipping about 6 months ago for 225. Granted I spent about 3 months scouring auctions to get that price.

Not bad since the box is included. If you care about that sort of thing anyways.

Yarr, a good deal if you want the box and must have a US system instead of a usually cheaper Duo/Duo-R.

I agree. This sounds like a somewhat good deal, but it falls apart once you consider in all the shipping and repairs that you'll want to have done.

$100 for valis????  c'mon now.

$100 for valis????  c'mon now. 

You're right. Seems to be trending around $60-65 on actual auctions.  I just see so few auctions and so many BINs that I took it for granted. *DISCLAIMER* If i had any interest in buying CIC Valis III i'd've known better.

dont worry, im sure it wont be long before it IS $100

This was a much better deal and it did not need any repairs.

Sometimes you get lucky if the timing is just right...

Post by: madboom0522 on July 30, 2014, 03:33:31 AM
I will get it done. I have a buddy who can fix these types of things. However what I did not mention is that this unit was only played for about a year.... I had talks with the seller and he informed me that everything works and he is the only owner. That kind of helps knowing the history...

That auction was ended early by the seller, if the auction had run its course who knows what the final price would have been.

Yes it was. All I mentioned, is that I thought it was a better deal...

And I just dropped some serious cash on the TG16 CD with 3.0 card w/ plastic carrying box. I may have been taken for a ride on it a bit, but I'm so happy to I finally got my long awaited system.

Wait, so what did you score it for ? Certainly not close to the starting bid the seller wanted...
Title: Re: Duo Deal!
Post by: madboom0522 on July 31, 2014, 12:55:25 AM
No sir I did not. It ended up costing me $350 shipped. I'm ok with that seeing as how it is in full working order. Does not mean that I will not open it to check out the caps to be safe though. With the games it seemed to be a fair shake at least to me any ways.
Title: Re: Duo Deal!
Post by: NightWolve on July 31, 2014, 01:09:04 AM
With TurboTap, the joystick, all those games included, at $350 you definitely got the deal of the year, hands down! Congrats!

Duo came in and worked flawless! Even came with a factory sealed YS game! I don't think it could get much better than that!
Title: Re: Duo Deal!
Post by: NightWolve on July 31, 2014, 03:14:03 PM
How much was wmac trying to sell his sealed Ys Book I & II ?? Or was Ys IV the sealed one ? Yeah, I guess the deal really did put you over the top, as far as dealing with eBay when it comes to NEC products.

That's awesome! It's good to hear some good news about a deal. 8)

I know I love my Duo-R.

Yes, it was a nice added bonus as far as I am concerned! Once in a while e-bay does pay out. It can be like the stingy slot machine at times....
