As the years go buy the stuff is getting harder to find. People aren't so eager to let it go. People might luck up if a collector decides to unload.

Ebay has these guys Like bullseyecollectables that buy up all the turbo stuff and sell them for outrageous prices. It really muddys the water.

It took me 4 years to find one at a reasonable price and that was a roll of the dice because of the sellers low feedback. I can't recall seeing one availible in great woking shape for under 200 in years.

From what I have seen while trying to get one.

Complete boxed mint ebay 300-400

complete boxed mint dp 200.00-250

I think is close.

That is really a sad state of affairs. Ebay is a godsend as well as a disaster. I can't find games in the wild any more in my area, and this is exactly why. If it isn't some reseller looking for a buck, it's places like the Salvation Army and Goodwill no longer selling games in their stores but listing them on ebay at outragous prices.

Yeah, it’s funny. Take the money I’ve made from buy low, sell high eBay deals, triple it and that’s how much their increased prices have cost me in the long run. Make $200, lose $600.

I bought my region modded Duo R for $230. Kid of steep but what are you going to do? My only choice now it to hold on to it.

I think its all this buying up everything bullshit and putting it at a high price , but soon people are gonna fall flat on their faces when noones gonna buy the shit.

Telegames and some other venders were still selling new Duo's not that long ago. Once their stock dried up prices shot up. There has been a LARGE LOT of Turbo Grafx items found from what I have heard. I haven't heard any mention of Duo's yet but it wouldn't surprise me. A lot of new Turbo Grafx systems and games have been found and the prices might start to come down again.

Now, to be fair, I used Ebay Negs to get this feedback. There are one or two positive replies sprinkled in, but for the most part it's almost entirely negatives! LOL

He recently changed his ebay id to 2many_collectibles his feedback rating is 96.9.

If someone sells a lot of games he is on it sniping whatever.
He then breaks it up and puts them on the bay.

He will sit on a overpriced price listings and just relist and relist until someone buys I remember seeing his auctions for the turbo duo boxed listed between 350.00 400.00.
I think when people want to sell there duo they do a search and see his pricing and list their's in the same range.
