Title: Value of Pioneer Laseractive Turbografx PAC with controller
Post by: Green on October 16, 2017, 10:16:44 AM
Whats the market value? I vaguely remember one selling a couple years back but that was without the controller.

This is for the American Turbografx PAC with original controller.

Isn't it just a standard controller?  Add the two prices together and then you're in the ballpark.

Its a standard turbo duo controller if I remember correctly but has the Pioneer logo on it

It's a standard controller design, but the branding, coloring, and button labels are different.  Functionally it's no different, so you'd only need it (and pay a bunch extra) for collectarding purposes.



You just bought one..... but are unsure what it's worth?  I don't get it.  :-k

The best answer is to list it for a starting bid of $1, cancel the auction just before it ends, then say it's worth ~10% more than the nearly final bid value.

This method seems kinda douche-y though...

I bought the Turbo PAC with controller and Sega PAC with controller and a bunch of Laseractive games for $850.
I sold the games as I didn't really have any interest in them

Not surprising about the games. There really aren't any good exclusives for the LA.

I seem to recall a controller going for around $120, but who knows. The only person who would want one is a collector, and there aren't too many LA collectors.

I'm probably the only LA owner who uses their LA as a Laserdisc player and that's about it nowadays. :P Joking on that one. All jokes aside, I can't imaging why anyone would spend a mortgage payment just to play their games in composite (let alone the handful of games) whereas there are other cheaper alternatives to upscale your Turbo/Genesis games.

He's flipping everything, that's the logic. Otherwise buying an LA to not play LA games would be f*cking moronic.

Even worse, it wasn't just a couple of crappier games like Quiz Econosaurus.  It was 13 of the 18 US titles.

So yeah, flippers gonna flip.  Gougers gonna gouge.

The LA is my only player...haha I use actually use it as a player.  I'm not going to lie I only have LDs so I can justify having the LA more than, but look it's cool.

I'd be interested in the turbo pak seeing as I don't have one, but yea I'm sure this isn't going to be reasonable.
Title: Re: Value of Pioneer Laseractive Turbografx PAC with controller
Post by: xelement5x on October 17, 2017, 05:27:23 AM
Hmm.  $850 for the whole bundle and the LD games sold for $910 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/112590945355), then subtract $91 for fees and another $20 for shipping so that puts it at $799 net on just the games.

I'd offer $61 for the PAC-N10 and controller so that you can break even and cover gas for the pickup. 
(You think I'm joking but a PAC-N10 sold for about that in the last couple years to another member)

Come on composite is how the developers intended for us consumers to play, dithering and all.

My line of Commodore 1084s with composite at CCAG were mistaken for RGB repeatedly.

Title: Re: Value of Pioneer Laseractive Turbografx PAC with controller
Post by: SignOfZeta on October 17, 2017, 06:16:53 PM
I have loads of Y/C able displays around here and only a couple of RGB options so in general I use Y/C a lot. With my CMVS I have every output but I can't tell the difference between the YPbPr and the Y/C so I use Y/C just to have a thinner cable. :)

Just for that I’m going to ask what the going rate for a PC Engine LT is.
Apparently, according to another thread, it’s going for $1000 so I will now expect a member to promptly sell me one at the going rate. Thanks. Shipped by the way. In box preferably.

There isn’t an LT here for sale. They don’t make them anymore. The supply is finite. Even before gouger flipper noobs were a thing and the “retro” scene was 1/10 the size it is now you still only saw an LT for sale here every few years and it was maybe $650 at the absolute cheapest, 10+ years ago. The LT is legit uncommon and awesome. It had an insane original price and I’ve never seen it for less than that.

The supply of LTs tends to be in the hands of people who don’t flip their shit every week so they usually only come up for sale when someone is ready to sell it, like when they die or need to buy a house. It takes a pretty huge ego to think that you can drop into a forum, ask for something, and have it just appear simply because you happen to want it that second. It may have been f*cking YEARS since one  changed hands here. We were’t genies born just to some day sell you an LT.

I’m pretty sure I was born to hate on a certain category of overly entitled a$$holes *like* you, but even then, it’s not just you. It’s hundreds of thousands of you scum.

I think that the LT I bought here within the past 5 years was $400.

After downsizing superfluous hardware later on, I sold it here for whatever I paid (without adding what I paid for shipping). It wound up going back to whoever I originally bought it from (I have good idea who it was).

So we both took a loss on our investments.

All jokes aside they are very cool. Do they have AV out?

That was another member that was looking for an LT. I don't have a urge to drop that much cash on it.

It got hijacked because it literally can take 5 minutes googling/thread searching to find sold LAs and LTs. Next item is Magical Chase I imagine...

Magical chase runs for about $30.  You might be able to get $50 if you did a BIN on ebay and found the right buyer.
