Awesome.  Love the bikini.  Sex sells!

Hah!  That's great.  I love his explanation for the bikini girl.

Here's a screenshot in case it gets taken down:

There's nothing 'bad' about that auction, unless you mean 'bad ass'.  Without the description it'd just be a shameful grab for booby attention, but the description really sells it.  :lol:

Interesting Duo auction here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-TurboGrafx-Turbo-Duo-Video-Game-Player-w-Super-CD-Rom-1-Game-NR-/330889768573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0a912e7d

What makes it bad for me is this:

Quote
Be aware that I know nothing about these and I don't know if it works because I have nothing to hook it up to. I was told it works by my friend who had it in his TV room for decades but it was sitting a long time and I can't guarantee it so you are buying it as is


You have nothing to hook it up to to test it?  It includes everything needed to test it and you're telling us you don't have a capable TV?  Fishy
All is well. :)

I agree it sounds awfully fishy, but it is possible that he has nothing to test it on, as some new LCDs lack composite (component and hdmi only).

Either way, that is a great chance for someone to get a US Duo.  I guess, if they know where to come to have it fixed! :)

Check out this badass Turbobooster this guys selling.  It pays to know what you have before you list it or maybe he just put up the wrong pictures?

Fixed?  what is a Turbo GraFX? LOL.
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!

Did they just change the pics?  It looks like a Turbo without the back cover to me.

what is a Turbo GraFX?

Rare US prototype of the PC-FX.  Obviously worth big monies!

Really?

You couldn't take a photo of the entire hu card?  And you used the same generic image for multiple listings?
