Title: WTB/Price Check: Turbo Duo w/Hookups & Controller
Post by: Domino82 on July 03, 2015, 09:30:26 AM
Hey everyone - I am looking to purchase a VG/EXC condition Turbo Duo with original controller and hookups. I have my eye on one on eBay, but not sure if the price is reasonable. Can someone please tell me what a fair going price is right now?

Also, if anyone has one for sale (preferably already region modded) please let me know. I like to avoid eBay whenever possible.

Cheers!

Edit: Acquired Duo. Feel free to delete. Thanks!

Like everyone will probably say, PCE Duos are a lot cheaper and easier to find. Lots of people on here sell them. With various mods for about the price that some NA Duos go for.

I got my NA Duo for a pretty reasonable price (about the same price as a PCE Duo) but that was because it was listed as having sound issues. Turned out perfectly fine.

If you're looking at that NA Duo on ebay that's going for $400ish, that's not a good deal.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was looking at the $400ish one. This will sound crazy, but I already own a Duo-RX and PCE GT Japanese consoles. I am looking to change up my collection which is primarily Japanese consoles over to American. I realize I can mod the RX, but right now it's more of a nostalgia thing - I would rather have the American console.

That being said, I am open to trading both the Duo RX (with original 6-button controller) and the PC Engine GT for an American Duo. I assume that is a reasonable trade since the American console goes for quite a bit more.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I can send pics. I am planning to region mod the Duo, so if that's already done, even better.
