It should be a MINTY MINT perfect condition and boxed turbo GT at that price


Well, usual price in Japan for a Tubo GT is about 400 euros (usualy not boxed)

My whole system I meant!! Turbo-R, SCC, CF-IDE, slot expander etc

The best way to buy MSX computer is buying directly from Japan.
There are websites who automatically translate japanese site, thus you can bid product in japanese site directly from these "Wrapped" site.
Those sites are always charging their service fee, and also there should be local transportation fee inside japan as well as shipping cost to your country.

In my case, I live in Korea and there is domestic site who provide those bidding services.
I've got below items from Yahoo Japan in August.
- A1ST with SANYO monitor at 15,000 yen (approximately 120 euro), including shipping and tax, I paid around 150 euro.
- In case of A1GT, bidding price was 42,000 yen (330 euro), still very expensive, it looks like A1GT is even rare item in Japan.
- Recently I won Panasonic FX in extremely mint condition at 10,000 yen (80 euro), and normal Panasonic WSX at 4,300 yen (33 euro)

For your information,
A1ST in mint condition with box in Yahoo Japan is around 20,000 yen (around 160 euro)
A1GT in mint conidition price varies from 35,000 to 45,000 yen (280 to 360 euro)
Above price exlucdes service charge, transportaion fee and tax.

There's also other accessaries such as MSX mouse, jotstick, gamepack, etc.
Sometimes there is rampack, FM-music pack and other stuff too, but you need to have patience and monitor for a month to get those items.

If you live in Korea, then you can use www.japanenjoy.com, you can buy product from japan easily and also can bid items in Yahoo Japan, Rakuten, and bidders
If you live in US, europe or south america, there is www.rinkya.com. they provide japanses to english tranlsation as well as bidding services too.

Hope this information is helpful for you.
