As oddities, they're somewhat cool goodies now; back in the day, I can't imagine anyone being impressed or excited by such tame promotional items (yay, cheap sunglasses, stickers, and a frisbee!). I suppose this little package aptly sadly sums up the Turbo's US marketing and why it was doomed to failure. :|
-
You are insane. Those sunglasses are awesome!
-
Cool now, definately. I agree with you though about back in the day it not being very impressive. I can't see myself saying "Damn now that I have this frisbee, I must have a Duo!" back then.

Isn't the term "POWER UP" some other video game's catch phrase...?
I bet the bidding for this goes over $200.

hahahah.. you did not????

-
hahahah.. you did not????
Ok, ok... I really didn't. I actually upped it to $250 in case Wmac decided to go $230! :-#
-
bah, WMAC bidding on MC loose? I guess that's another one I kiss goodbye :(
-
Ok toooooo funny. Who actually tried to bid up the promo stuff to see if I actually bid it up to $250 and then retracted their bid? C'mon now, I had only bid it up to $52.00.. :lol: :lol: :lol: I dunno what bothers me most, the fact that you think I'm stupid/rich enough to pay that much for a frisbee or the fact that whoever did it is that gullible.... [-(

Roy did it every cross your mind maybe someone just bid on it without you in mind? i know crazy eh??? :P
-
Holy second-class cities Batman, that seller is here in Columbus!
Hmmm, I wonder if the seller would be interested in ending the auction early. Maybe I grab this before those schmoe's down the road in JOHNSTOWN, OHIO pick this up...

It crossed my mind sure. But for me to screw around and act like I bid through the roof on it and then someone bids it up and instantly retrats their bid? hmmm
-

I wouldnt bid on those thos.

I see it happen all the time, both as people trying to find out another bidder's top dollar and to figure out the seller's reserve price.
-
yup could be.
I personally saying if i'm a serious anal collector.. I would pay for this up to 100 dollars thos.
it s nice promo stuffs to put on shelf!.. =)

Don't let the Chinese find out their plastic is worth so much. They'll spin up the old molds and stuff a few container ships full of it, bound for the US.
-
I have been wondering if that is, indeed, a "Musical Flying Disc"?
And what are all the other pieces of plastic? A hand mirror? A mock hu-card? A Strider (SGX) EPROM?
-
I totally 'asked a general question' about ending the action early to the seller. I went out of town for a couple days and lost sight of the auction, but the seller replied early on that he would consider it "if I had the right offer." sounds like the seller was hoping this would go for more than $76...

Nah, he was fine with the $76. I was the runner up bidder and he sent me a message and offered me his "second" one for $75. I told him I thought the price was ok but I had no protection if he was trying to screw me. Instead of trying to reassure me he wasn't going to screw me over, he just said he understood. So if it's all on the up and up, he has another one.
