Author Topic: Coregrafx Super CDRom vs Original Suitcase CDRom (Read 1526 times)

So why is it for mint copies of either I see the original suitace command a higher price? The Coregrafx version appears a better deal being able to play SuperCDs without a system card. Is the price discrepancy just collectors factor?

collection really... and that you can use LT on the suitcase setup.
I've sold mine early this year for hansom profit... and that one was freebie...

I like the way the suitcase version looks though. I just wish it was wasn't as expensive.

sold mine for USD 150 plus shipping - it was something thrown in as freebie when I bought a SuperGrafx from someone. probably he didn't know the value on the thing...

The suitcase is the original deal, I don't think sany PCE owner can be such an authority to say which is the most authentic set up, though personally I love my Briefcase, its the one i'd always wanted............though in 1993 i did have the Core II/SCDRom2 set up........still do but the SCD is kaput

In retrospect I knpw I overpiad for my briefcase, boxed w/ new Avenue 6 for £209........prolly too much, but it is ace.

Only problem with SCDRom is its nickname as the butf*cker.

Hey that looks in pretty good condition. The one I'm looking at is around $270. Of course it's mint (no sunfades) with box and everything. I just don't want so spend that much. I do want a mint unit though

Zerojean, what do you mean the "SCD is kaput"? It doesn't play them?

dj898 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 11, 2004, 04:49:07 PM »

wow extra $120 for box and manual?
I'd take loose anyday unless it's to be kept locked away for collection...

They're collectibles. They aren't bought at collector's prices for their functionality.

As a system to play Hu's & CDs, the PCE LT sucks ass compared to a Duo.

But guess why the LT sells for more?

Do you have/had a LT? Those things look awesome, but are their HuCard & CD capabilities really bad?

An LT sucks compared to a Duo for playing CD games because it doesn't have a CD-ROM.

The pad(ie: the entire thing) isn't as easy to use as a regular PCE/Duo pad and is 7 times the size.

The first player pad on an LT is always 2 button, but a Duo's first player pad can be 6-button, a joystick or even a PSX peripheral.

Therefore, I'd rather own a Duo over an LT to play games.

As a collectible basing value on rarity, the LT is worth more.

I don't own an LT, but was just outbid for one recently that went for $450.

$450 seems like a pretty good price, was this on Ebay?

Yeah, it was one of those perfect circumstances between how it was listed and the seller's rep & description.

I just couldn't be there for the last minute, otherwise without my eratic early bids, it probably would've gone for like $300.

$300 would have been so excellent! Those things seem to go for $600 or so. There is this one site that sells them, I forget the price but it was a European site so the currency was in pounds.
