Title: Anyone in the USA interested in JP/US switchable PC Engines?
Post by: pcenginesales on September 01, 2008, 01:14:42 AM

I'm not getting enough interest in the mods I have been doing to justify my time taken on them so I am considering shipping the ones I have left to a contact in the USA. When I was in Japan the bulk of my console sales were to the USA so they might move that bit faster.

If you would be interested in a white PC Engine or Core Grafx modded to either AV or RGB (I know your TVs over there do not accept RGB as readily as ours, so I can't guess as to the demand for the latter) plus US/JP switches please let me know. The consoles will be shipped out to my contact in the states sans power supplies, as we will have to buy the power supplies over there. Then they will be sold from that location with the power supplies.

Not really sure if it's worth all the effort though as to date I have only sold 4 modded units this month. I think the price might be putting people off, but I think I'm being pretty fair as not only is it only producing a little over minimum wage for my time but I'm charging less than other modders I've seen here and adding that price on top of what I used to get for the consoles unmodded in Japan.

Anyway let me know. And if you would be interested in trading in your console for a modded one I could also provide this service, but my contact in the USA cannot mod the units so trade-ins woud be the best I could offer.

As long as the contact in the USA isn't someone who has burned people here in the past Im sure you may have a couple of interested people. I for one may be interested in a RGB modded system,as I take it then I would be able to use it with  a Scart to component video adapter,correct? What are the price guidlines you are going to set for the consoles after they arrive here?

What about sending consoles to be modded for rgb out?

If the price isn't off the wall I may be interested in buying one as a gift for a friend...
