Cheap Retro Duo's

Post by Life of Brian »

Look what I found:

$29 for a Retro Duo that's only plays SNES games. Pretty good deal if you're ditching the NES side anyway.

I paid $29 USD for my RetroDuo a few months ago via e-bay, including postage to the UK! As always, many sellers are expensive, but you can usually find someone cheaper! :D

Meh, I got a working one for that price at a local store, so i didn't have to pay for shipping either. It all depends where you look. :wink:
Also, $60 for a working one on that site? That's terrible!

Maybe I just suck, or maybe it's because I live in Canada, but I can never find good deals. Not locally, not non-locally, not on Craigslist, not on Ebay, not on the web, not even from other Benheckers. Well I had a really sweet deal once but for reasons that you need not know I had to abandon it.

No offense, but it probably IS because you live in Canada.
Other than that though, it really depends how much work you put into finding something, and how often you look.

No, $60 is retail price. It's the only price I can find them for locally. Therefore, $30 = half of $60 = a good deal. Congratulations on your find.

Holy smokes!
Thanks for letting me know that!
Hmm... it IS the same store that I got a PSone screen for $10, so I guess they have no idea what anything is worth. :lol:
Sorry for my rant on that website.
