Another box from Japan, follow the 🧵 to see what’s inside #RetroGaming #RetroComputing
I’m always a little shocked when these boxed MSX2 computers sell for a reasonable price, I sold my previous one on and then most of the others went for insane prices, then I stuck a low bid on this one and. I body else bid. It even comes with the hard to find PSU #RetroComputing
@jonn_blanchard a lot of retro computing and gaming stuff in Japan isn't stupidly priced. Common consoles tend to be very affordable.
@jonn_blanchard I miss the days when old consoles and 8 bit computers could be picked up for a tenner or so. :(
@gpowerf yep. I remember when I started buying from Japan, my first two X68Ks cost almost nothing, the postage was higher and I was getting PC Engine games in bulk for a few quid.
@jonn_blanchard I bought a 2600 from the UK decades ago for really nothing! And 2 Super Famicoms and a Famicom from Japan for the price of a hamburger.
@gpowerf these computers seem to vary wildly in price though, I’ve had my eye out since getting sellers remorse on the last one and this is the first that didn’t go above £100
