A PAL Turbob is only worth $130 to a collectard.  Anyone looking for something to play games on is better off with a plain 'ol CoreGrafx (I or II) or better yet a Duo.
Yeah but the shipping kills me so I got this because shipping won't destroy my budget, duo are like 500$ :/ , plus I can use the flash cards instead of buying games! Also I have a 00's 50/60 hrz TV that changes between what the game is running on :), altho it's mainly because it exotic (and will piss my friend when I say that I have TG16 that's PAL :D)
If you keep an eye out you should be able to find a pce duo/briefcase refurbished in Europe for around £200 be patient

Only if you knew how much these consoles are sold for in Brazil... probably enough to get everyone here a heart attack lol.
I was considering some games there and not a console, but I just noticed that the cheaper ones were all loosies. Lame.

One of the countries where it was released was Spain. Magazines reviewed games, though strangely, in its original japanese versions, and sometimes, they mentioned games like Final Match Tennis and Operation Wolf needed adapter (were they released as such?).

Anyways,  I bought one cheap a few years ago and is the one I use to play. What intrigues me is that the system didn't have RF antenna, and not much TVs had AV back in the early 90's.

The accessory box came with an RF switch.

Oh, didn't remember that. I took out the AV switch and never looked back.

I've always liked the look of a PAL TurboGrafx. I almost would not mind picking one up that looked nice but was no longer working and just transferring the shell over to a NTSC system so I could play games on it without any slow down or hassle.

You'd wind up with a big hole in the side and it wouldn't match the CD-ROM.
