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 can charge more than £1.25. Mebbe a fiver would be about right. ;)

No, you can buy a new one for about £65 with a few games and controllers. You need to expect to make a loss to sell it as it didn't do as well as it should. A nice even £100 maybe but nothing more.

Why not check the price of that bundle at SR, then knock 20 quid or so off it?

If I'm being far too sensible, I apologise.

I reckon you could get around £60 for it

Dreamcast and controller - £30
4 games at £5 each - £20
2 light guns at £5 each - £10
Memory Card - £1

Don't sell it!!!

Instead, take it appart and remove the motherboard, and hook it up to a 12v battery.
Now, insert the motherboard up your housholds cats rectum, ensuring that the joypad port is facing outwards.
Next Plug in your contral pad, and Voila, you are the proud owner of a brand new SEGA DreamCat!

You can now control the movement of your DreamCat through the use of your Control Pad.
In addition, your old dreamcast games, can be inserted through your DreamCat's mouth, thus allowing your DreamCat to access new 'Special' moves.

Be carefull while operating the SEGA DreamCat, and never keep it in the same proximity as the SONY PuppyStation 2, as the 2 systems are not compatable.

And remember, A DreamCat is just for christmas, not for life.

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

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

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.
