FS: Entire US TurboGrafx 16 TurboChip library...minus 1 game...

[jasonbar]

For Sale:

Entire US TurboGrafx 16 TurboChip (cartridge/HuCard) library.........except for Magical Chase...

93 Games. 1 yard worth of TG16 games. No duplicates.

Picture gallery (gallery has higher resolution pics than forum attachment pics): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xj8mvnwdfltt8yu/mmIU8c7klw

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As7-6oT7oyHudHRMdExheUdKNjk0ZHdvVEY5MFV0Rnc&usp=sharing

All have card, manual, jewel case, & card sleeve. No cardboard boxes or plastic box trays. All tested good.

Almost all games are in good/great condition. Deviations from good condition are noted--if a condition is not specified, consider it to be good. "Good" = slight manual whitening at spine or a minor corner fold, light scratches on case, a little insertion wear on card, shallow spine sticker concavities over case holes, etc. I quickly flipped through every page of every manual & saw no writing, tearing, severe folding, water damage, etc. Condition of clear jewel case fronts not noted, as they're generic CD case fronts & they're a dime a dozen. I think I've been conservative in my condition assessments.

All games that didn't include jewel cases when released originally (the later TTi releases) now have cases from "donor" common games, where I removed the original spine sticker, cleaned up the case with alcohol, & applied a high-quality reproduction spine sticker made by pcenginefx.com user Sparky. I also believe that there are 1 or 2 games that originally came with a jewel case but I've used a donor case & Sparky sticker.

I want to sell these as 1 big fat lot. Please don't ask me to split it up at this time. Shipping will be from Pasadena, CA, USA. The 93 games are currently in a 26"x17"x9" tub that weighs about 32 pounds, if you want to estimate shipping cost when they're packaged carefully--probably split into 2 more manageable packages. I will ship abroad, with insurance & tracking, but be aware that it will cost tons. (In the hopes that I'll find a local buyer, I'm not yet investing the effort of packing them up in shipping boxes.)

I've gone through & looked at low & high completed eBay listing prices, generally ignoring shipping prices (tricky when shipping is sometimes free on a listing or calculated based on buyer location...). There were a few instances where I couldn't find completed listings, so I looked at active listings & estimated. Summing up the low & high prices of all 93 games resulted in totals of $2,905 & $4,955. (Just think, you could buy 93 of the 94 US TurboChips for much less than buying Magical Chase alone!!!)

Please make a fair offer on the whole lot plus shipping. I know, I know, generally, buying a set of games individually vs. buying the same set in 1 bulk lot results in a higher total price paid, but I've never seen a lot like this, so my biased opinion as a seller is that this whole may be worth than the sum of its parts. We'll see what the Price Police say. :]

I am posting this to several locations.

Very cool that you posted the sale price. Can't believe what the TG-16 stuff is worth today! Had a complete collection that I sold off in the mid to late 90's for nowhere near this price. Getting back into the PC Engine/TG-16 now though because even after all_this_time, there's still something incredibly special about this little system, its games, etc. I'm sure the buyer is elated!
