Oh man. I know there's no way my budget will win this system, but I'm in the lead right now. Here's hoping.

[Professor Gull]

Any recommendations for a website on fixing up one of these? Or cap kits?

I put it on watch. Sorry my offer wasn't good enough, should be interesting to see where it lands.

[glazball]

Are you kidding? I'm already kicking myself haha.

 

Seriously, it hurts to do it, but it's hard to justify keeping it right now. I have no doubt though that by the time I want it again it'll be worth something crazy like a grand. But eh... at least I can still play my games on my PC Engine. If I squint enough, I can pretend it's an American Turbo Duo.

See that's the beauty of it, the PCE if you have an adapter or the everdrive you can play whatever you want short of the discs which leaves a LOT of options throwing the JP market into it.

MotoRacer, got a region switch I'm selling....

Honestly, just get a Japanese one and an everdrive and you're all set. Cheaper and more reliable.

[Flojomojo]

It emulates well too. I wouldn't miss the plastic disc spinning contraption at all, I'd prefer the cash.

[Austin]

The market has spoken. Congrats on the sale.

[MotoRacer]

Thanks. I hope this shows I wasnt trying to screw anyone over. Especially as this sold without any software.

[+GoldenWheels]

I don't think anyone thought you were trying to screw anyone moto, even those that questioned your price. I questioned (internally) the price myself, because a region modded/S-vid modded/recapped PC Engine duo can be had for far, far less if one knows where to look. But it appears some either don't know that, or truly value the US system at a premium (which shouldn't surprise me too much I suppose, knowing collectors).

[Tanooki]

I didn't think you were screwing people but I did think $600 was high which is why I tried to trade into it.

 

You ended on $540 shipped, and then ebay takes a FVF 10% off, and paypal gets another 3% and change which removed another $70~ and that still it bit into more with the shipping charge ($30) both put that fee on too. You probably came out around $430-450 in the end on that which is like 25%-30% less.
