Hi guys,

On Ebay, some seller is selling a new black Turbo-Duo system for $47,999 bucks!

Is it worth that much?

How about no...

[Torr]

You could get a small house for that where I'm from

If that's the going rate than you can have my system without the box for half price. Just a measly $24,000.

I'll throw in the box for a measly $999!

I checked the listing and it is only $4,799.00. Don't know if the OP made a typo or if the eBay seller changed it. Also, if you check his other items, he has some other overpriced "graded" stuff for sale. In fact, you can blow another $3,000 and get a new Turbo Duo with 12 "graded", sealed games to not play on your "graded", sealed system.

I am guessing the Ebay seller changed it. I still think the value isn't there at 4,799.00

It's probably worth $479.99. See what I did there?

[fdurso224]

Hi guys,

The seller change the price from $47k to $4,799.

Either way, what does a Turbo-Duo unused new system go for these days?

Hmm... Sounds like I should buy a box for mine, shrink wrap everything, and put it up on eBay.
In case you're wondering, I paid 50 dollars for mine last year, and that included 7 games! One of them was a complete Splatterhouse!

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the deal of the century!

[TheGameCollector]

I paid $300 for a system with just its cords on ebay in 2007.

[Video_Invader]

Yeah these things run high on ebay. But then again, so does alot of other stuff as well. Sometimes, with good reason, but alot of times, not

[Eltigro]

I've wanted one since the TTI days. But I've never found one that I could really justify the price of. But if I found one for $5 like someone up above claimed, I'd be all over it.

[Sonic R]

well... I paid $200 for mine, brand new in box………

in 1994!

[SEgamer]

Oh yea? Well I found one new in box with a complete library that someone left on the side of the highway!

Ah who am I kidding, there's no such thing as Turbo Duos around here.

I kind of like the idea that my TG-16 CD player is detachable. What's better about this Turbo Duo version?

Nothing worth mentioning really. They're cool but not for the prices tho. I had mine under a year and sold it just under $200 without the games. Just wasn't into it really even for the measly $5 i paid for it. I used to have the tg16 with cd player and the arcade card 3. I think i'd rather go with one of those again. Just not a priority right now. Still busy working on Playstation 1, 2, and 3 titles as well as more atari stuff. Just picked up a mint in box 4 port 5200.
