And upon further reflection and research, I've lowered the starting bid to $150 and the Buy It Now to $400.

I realize what I knew of it's value in this condition was inaccurate. This wasn't a case of me trying to swindle anyone. I'm really not a seller.

I can't comment on the price as I don't follow current TurboGrafx prices these days, so have no idea if it's good or bad, but I would avoid saying things such as "LIKE NEW" in all capitals and playing up how mint it is when there's a massive dent on a corner of the box and all the paper work is missing. I just say that as I reckon if a buyer doesn't check the listing and pics very closely they would be super pissed when they recieve the item.

Tyler, I told you, $0.99 no reserve is how you find the market value.

Did you read through the thread? I've taken forum members advice. Lowered the starting bid to .99 cents.

Of course I read it, and I've no doubt your initial high starting and buy-it-now prices were calculated to get such responses.  The only other logical explanation is that you're a complete idiot (admittedly quite possible) and forgot that you were given the exact same advice for your Camp California auction.

How long will it be after this auction ends before you post yet another overpriced, poorly described, and misleading auction?  We want to 'help' you!

This is the last one I have to offer unless I decide to sell my Syd Meads.

Look, I understand how you came to your assumption. Truth is I just sold off a Jaguar CD in Box for $800 and got a little jumpy. My initial price was unguided and perhaps a little greedy.

I'm really a collector and longtime gamer since I was a kid in the 90s. I finally started selling off pieces of my collection that I obtained with my Dad growing up.

Hope you can shed the assumptions and think better of me.

Thanks.

You only post here to help sell your stuff or shill your channel. That's fact.

Well I need to post more often then as a TurboGrafx fan. I agree. I apologize.

I did buy the customized labels from Sparky.

Sometimes it's hard to find the time to get fully engaged in a community like this but I will try harder.

Why are you selling all the shit your dad bought you?

Well this was an extra thing he bought when the TG16 was clearance. I'll never sell my original DUO. Still have that.

Part of the money I make will go to help with LIFE... kids, wife, mortgage... and part of it goes back into obtaining some rare games for my collection that Dad and I never got back in the day.

Oh f*ck!  I initially thought this was a Duo.  (I'm dumb)  Holy hell man you're crazy.  It is obvious you're a collector.  No doubt.  I like how you were able to drop it down to $400 like it's nothing.  At least you dropped the price I guess.

Yeah man I'm not some reseller trying to gouge people.
