Best Deals and Best Wild Fines

[jordan_hillman]

Hey there! Does anyone have any good stories about great deals or trades they've made for rare Turbo games, or any great wild finds?

My best (and only one of two wild finds) was a complete US Super System Card that I found in a stack of CDs for 5 bucks! Since that day I've been hooked on collecting for the Turbografx and finding the best deals possible.

I would love to hear some your guys' stories

Hahaha. I'll admit it's a bit of a douchy post topic, but I'm a total sucker for hearing about great deals for any system but especially Turbografx deals

I bought Magical Chase MIB and Cotton MIB for $5 each, walked outside, tore Magical Chase open and played it on my Turbo Express during the ride home. Made it to the end, but didn't beat the final boss that night. Tore open and played through Cotton the next morning.

I paid about £10 for a bundle of 10 hu cards and one turned out to be parasol stars. So while not very epic still pretty decent.

Mortal Kombat.

I bought a CIC Cadash for $20 and a CIB Turbografx system with CIC Splatterhouse and a loose Bonk 2 for $85.

I have bought several "dead" turbos for almost nothing (~$10) that worked just fine.

[geise]

Cotton US version for $10 I believe.  It was 1994 though. 
Dungeon Explorer 2 US version for $5
Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire New for $50  Bought before Care4Data versions existed.
Kabuki Itouryodan for $1.00 brand new

Went to a Play N Trade in spring 2012 and asked if they had any TurboGrafx in back. Guy comes to me after vanishing for what seemed like 15 minutes with a stack:

Bonk's Revenge
Alien Crush
Final Lap Twin
Aero Blasters
Super Star Soldier*
Parasol Stars
Silent Debuggers*
Bloody Wolf

*missing manual.

All games were $5 each except Parasol Stars, that was $15. Apparently the games were priced in 2008 and just sat.

Always, always ask to look in back. :3

Another quick thing; Found a Bonk 3 HuCard loose for about $100 at a shop called "2nd Chance", it didn't work, brought it back after thoroughly trying to resurrect it. Yay!

over the years I also found a lot of 30 to 40 buck games for only like 1 to 3 bucks, like double dragon II etc.

also a set of 5 sealed local b(. Y .)bs of hawaii for each 1 buck..lol LOL L O L!!!

I once found a boxed TE with boxed TV turner, Complete CD set up with 3.0 Card, and about 30 games (which included bonk 3 and New adventure Island) for $500 bucks shipped from the next town over.  I spread all the dupes here and made out pretty well in the end.
