Title: want... want... appeal to the rich.
Post by: nullity on November 26, 2014, 01:13:09 PM: http://ebay.com/itm/111530774764

Someone buy this. Then scan it for me. Or just give it to me.

Why didn't NEC/TTI send me stuff like this?! My scanner is SO warmed up for this.

HEY! The seller is in Union, NJ. That's not far from me.

But he is a gouger.

Post by: BlueBMW on November 26, 2014, 06:11:30 PM: Hmm.... I thought mine had the letter in it... its possible I traded it to henrycsc though. I'll shoot him a message and find out. And actually I think mine is from the TZD days not the old days... :( I've got the envelope from TZD and some other inserts / advertisments though. I'll snap a pic and see what you think...

Post by: Bernie on November 27, 2014, 01:46:50 AM: I cant remember who bought my boxed TG-16 a few years ago, but it was someone here in these forums. It had all the papers in it, including what that guy has listed in his BIN auction.

Same here. I kept a lot of stuff for a long time. Then, one fateful day, I got rid of a whole bunch of stuff I wish I had kept.

I agree 10000% that $180 is Cosby...

This made me lol. I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt, as I've always like the Coz, but man... the bad stuff just keeps piling on, doesn't it?

Also, stop ruining this place.

Heh, I cringe when I think of all the turbo stuff that got tossed or lost in a move. I guess I got in on the turbo bandwagon before they had this promo, so my original console never included these scannable goodies.

I agree 10000% that $180 is Cosby...I'm hoping we see this auction behave the same way as the yellow Dangerous Journeys flyer auction... started half a year ago at $80, and has been dropping ever since... currently unsold at $30.

These coupon books were sent from NEC to everyone on their mailing list (from registration cards folks submitted, I reckon...)

NEC didn't send out tons of stuff, but every now and then they would mail stuff...

Post by: jelloslug on December 01, 2014, 01:39:51 AM: I had at least one set of those. They were also in little stands on the store shelf at places that sold Turbos.

Post by: galam on December 04, 2014, 01:40:22 PM: The guy with the papers emailed me and asked if i wanted them for $90.

Post by: Necromancer on December 05, 2014, 01:35:20 AM: I have the cards out of one of those Turbob displays.
