Powers up? How the hell does he know that, if he can't plug it in?

Plus, I love that game "Hu Card"
Hey, you.

If he could power it up, would he say its not working?  Doesnt work too well with the game upside down.
All is well. :)

I think he put the Game upside down on purpose to try and trow of bidders and make it seem he don't know what he's doing.. I bet it don't work

0 feedback.  I'm sure it'll sell though.

Where are people keeping their old TG setups?  Good God this one looks like it was placed behind a toilet while people pissed around it.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

i doubt it since he wouldn't answer my question on how he knew it powered on . . .  sounds magical alright
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

It looks more like a coat of Liquid Glass.
Looking for TG16 games I don't have already.

This is a "Brand New Factory Sealed" copy of Air Zonk that is only opened at the top. Classic.

It is totally sealed, even though it is open! But new and sealed! But open! But still sealed!

I came here to post this one.

Forget the ridiculous price, for a moment please. I can't put my finger on it, but this just pisses me off.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bonks-Adventure-TurboGrafx-16-NEW-SEALED-GOLD-VGA-90-/150963448654?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item23261f6b4e

This item is "sealed" but not really. It is part of this box:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-TurboGrafx-16-Black-Console-NTSC-FACTORY-NEW-TG16-w-BONK-KEITH-COURAGE-/121031321101?pt=Video_Games&hash=item1c2e07660d

VGA kind of f*cked up in grading that item, since it was clearly a pack-in with the console, never available with that sticker on its own. They graded "part" of a complete set. So much for being an "authority." Maybe I'm just being nit-picky. But if I were to pay a ridiculous premium on a sealed item, I'd not want something that is noticeably incomplete.
Hey, you.
