Title: Turbo Bonk Bundle With Box Found In The Wild (CL) Find!
Post by: xasap_retro_gamerx on December 02, 2015, 02:32:22 PM: So I was on my local CL found a guy selling a turbo with the box my area is full of resellers and collectors I was very surprised it wasn't taken , I texted him , we talked and he wanted to trade a few things , so I met him close by my house , he use to live a block and half from me I found out but moved , He told his aunt friend gave him the turbo for free a few months ago at a garage sale , and he only wanted $80 for it (he listed it as 200 but we talked for a hour) and got this beauty . That came with all the inserts and even the comic in Keith Courage , the Bonk box still had the free sticker so does the box! so I put my copy of bonk in the box :) and completed it ! I haven't seen one like this on ebay yet . I been lucky with my tubo finds! I also got a toploader and a genesis in box along with other fun stuff ! This box even had the REG card! which I know is rare to find .

Post by: martinine on December 03, 2015, 01:20:10 PM: I will hide no jealousy! I'm filled with jealous rage! I had my original 1991ish box from when I was a kid, and my gf at the time gave me an ultimatum to throw it out. Stupidly I did. I ended up throwing her out not very long after. Should thrown her out first, and I would still have my turbo box. Hahaha. Awesome score man!

For some reason, retail console boxes from the early 90's have a very special appeal to me. Unfortunately, they are expensive as F on Ebay, so I can't really mess with them, but I'd love to have an original Genesis Altered Beast box, an original TG-16 box and the launch SNES box. I'd really love the first Sega CD box too, talk about freaking sexy...

Tell me the original Sega CD box isn't some sexy marketing:
