Sigh. There's a whole section for thrift store finds in the Marketplace branch of the forum. It opens up to new users ten days after signing up.
There's no way for new users to know.
Selling gaming accessories. Click
It's in the faq. Pretty simple way to know.

It IS in the FAQ but a buying and selling thread isn't really the first place anyone would think to look for a 'thrift store find' topic. At least not anyone who hasn't been on here for some time. I say cut the guy some slack...at least more slack than the usual "asking about buying and selling" posts.

Yeah this is a easy enough mistake its not something people should jump on him for.
unlike a few other "stupid" postings this is understandable.
Guys, there's a simple fix.
Just add another paragraph to the welcome email that mentions the 10 day waiting period.
Yup, I snagged a minty TurboExpress for $5 at a local Goodwill. They also had the first two Bonk games (complete and minty) for $3 ea.
That was a good day.
Sorry about the misunderstanding, i actually did look around the fourms before posting this. didnt realize a section is hidden untill ive been here a while. Will save my other finds for future threads in the proper section.
This may be the only community that I've seen that actively discourages conversation. It's amazing.
Okay, so now that we've acknowledged you might have inadvertently caused the end of the world by posting here .... I just want to say that's a pretty great find! I got mine back in December for ~$20 at a retro gaming store in Toronto. It really sucks they didn't provide the ability to have A/V output out of the box.

Guys, guys, guys....
Guys...
Come on, now. It's not a big deal that he accidentally posted a find in the Classic Gaming forum.
The issue here is that he claims a loose TurboBooster is an "amazing find."
But hey, at least he didn't start a thread about feeling guilty about buying it from the store.
Okay, I'm done being a jackass.
Wait? So all that did was add an AV out? And that was sold separately?!

Hey. Back in the day, that was a big deal. The Sega Genesis didn't come with that out of the box either.
Weird because the NES at least ended up with models that had the rca outputs. the Genesis didn't require an adapter did it? Wasn't it just a different cable. Crazy. looks like it retailed for like $30-$40 as well.
