450 euro? Good luck to seller...

Indeed.. there's not even a picture of it!
IMO, a GT is only worth 450 if it's complete in box with manuals and disks and in good condition.

Damn... I wouldn't even pay 450 if it came with a V9990. There's been a bundle of Turbo-R's on ebay for around 150. And even then one of them didn't sell...

o.O

150 euro's? kewl.. what is the price nowadays then?
I'm still intrested in one ST/GT I dont mind..

-Q

150 is damn cheap!

Si Si (although $50 for that sony 2+ is also damn cheap)
Even I wouldn't sell my defective Wavy FD2 for that price

-Q

Especially since $50 is about 40 euros

There were a few Sony MSX2+ computers for sale at 75 euros. I bid on one of them but lost by one euro, how classic... At the same time there was a Turbo-R (I think an ST) for 150 euros that had to go on auction twice in order to get sold. Later there was a GT for 150 euros but it was sold pretty quickly. I tend to look from time to time to amaze myself with today's prices...

If you guyz are interested, there is a MSXTR ST in auction at:
http://www.mercadolivre.com.br/jm/item?site=MLB&id=19124449

Brazilian ebay. R$780,00 should be something like 220 euros. Directly from Japan.

Prices are sometimes amazing.
Back then I bought my Sanyo Wavy 70FD2 for 250 guilders.
A new Turbo-R at that time was around 1200 guilders.
So only IF that machine on Ebay is brandnew sealed and fresh from the factory, then I would gladly pay 450 pleuries.
The problem I found with 'old' machines (MSX2 and 2+) is that they mysteriously brake down without you knowing it. For example, I took my 8250 back from my parents place.
At home I found out that the cardridge slot connector and the diskdrive were not connected anymore. Even I can't recall wether I dissassambled it or not. At least I can't find a reason to do so. And my Wavy, well.. don't even want to start about it.. hey the leds go on, but thats all I have been able to test (I'm too lazy to hook it onto my philips monitor that is on my attic.
So, If someone has a 2+ / TR for sale for a nice price, and the machine is working, then I'm willing to pay for it...
BTw, Sonic: what auction was it?

-Sigh... Why is it that we have the UK as a next door Isle instead of Japan (no offence to the UK ppl here, love your bear)

Count me in for that machine if it is still working

Hmmm... Seems like I've paid too much for my FS-A1ST. I bought it somewhere in February 2003, and I paid 350,- euros for it. Needless to say, I had to buy an adapter (230->115V) which was as well 20,- euros...
On the other hand, the thing was in almost-mint condition. There was no box wrapped around it, unfortunately. The only thing is, the ink on the keys starts to wear off...
