Reliable places to get a Turbo Duo?

[EmOneGarand]

Looking for any RELIABLE sources for a Turbo Duo console. I'm very weary of EBAY as I don't trust used CD-Rom based consoles from people who may be selling a broken system for the premium. Been trying to get one for awhile but they sell for rediculous prices and you never know if the older CD-Rom technology is faulty. My price range is less then $200. Thanks.

I have a used loose PC-Engine Duo (plays all CDs, but you'd need some kind of converter to play US Hu-Cards) I'd sell for $160 shipped in the US. Most can vouch for my reliability around here. I'll retest it before I send it.

 

Certainly I'll understand if you're looking for a Turbo Duo not a PCE Duo...

Actually it needs a modification to play US games but I have no problem with that right now. For the prices on Turbo Duo's on Ebay, it'd be too much of an investment. PM sent.

In a year I'm sure the prices will have skyrocketed more. i could have gotten a brand new system from TZD for 300 a couple years ago but I didn't and now it sets you back 500-1000 to get a new one from some reseller on Ebay heck the resellers sell used systems for 300-600 and you never know if they work.. it's best to get one now when you can because I can imagine the TG16 scene being like the NeoGeo one..

The value ebbs and flows...

 

I remember trading 2 new Duos for a Japanese release DC (at the time the DC's were selling for $700+)

Super Air Zonk was an awesome Super CD but lacked the detail from Air Zonk, still a favorite

 

I just started playing Ys IV since someone translated it 100% with Magic Engine, looks pretty good so far

Yeah it was my understanding that Air Zonk on Hu-card was better than Super Air Zonk on Super CD.
