I'm selling my dreamcast for £125 it comes with 4 games(GTA2, Jet set radio, Wacky races and house of the dead 2). It has 1 official controller, two official light guns and a official memory card(though i need new bateries for this). It is all nicely boxed.

Would you pay this much?

You might be selling it at that but no one's going to buy it.

Right.

Here's the deal. I know how much you will get for them so pay attention although the prices at the moment will be woeful due to new consoles and people buying holidays etc.

If you want the most for it all, sell separately, you could try eBay BUT at the moment it's flooded with over 1000 DC items, so go Yahoo or just wait a few months.

Now:

DC console = £25 (without the pad)
Pad = £6
Light Gun = £13
Light Gun + HOTD2 = £22
VMU = £8
GTA2 = £9
JSR = £6
Wacky Races = £10

Add all that up and you've got a nice little £99.

Not a patch on what you paid for it, but still a good price, believe me. Don't sell as a whole package, even sell the pad separately.

For more selling tips, email [email protected]

:D

I sold mine with 20 games 2 controllers, 2 memory cards for £80.

£125 is far too much, for an extra £5 you could get a Gamecube.

I'd say £75 is a fair price - £40 for the console, and £7 for the games each. The rest can be a free addition :P

Aything over £60 I would consider a massive rip-off considering for under the price you're suggesting (£125) I had a Dreamcast with 9 games, it's own controller and an extra VMU all brand new from Special Reserve.

I would never pay that much for it.

£50 is the most id even think about giving.... a tenner is the most id actually give if I had to (cheap b****r).

Nobody in the right mind would pay £125 for it.

Rip-off!

:D

ill go with iron monkeys option, although you could keep it and get much more fun out of it than getting money (although mone y is G R E A T )

also if you do sell it make it around £110 cos 125 is just more than anyone would pay for a dreamcast, even though they turn out to be nightmarespells
