WTB: Dreamcast, shipping to Australia

[danny_galaga]

DC's are too expensive in Australia. Just thought I'd see if anyone here is interested in selling me one. If from the US I'll either use a spare 240V PSU I have (if I can find it!) or a step down transformer. If from the UK, I don't have to worry about anything at all (",)

Basically just looking for the bare minimum- console, a controller, AV lead to keep shipping costs down...

[danny_galaga]

There's a store here selling them for $54 and I've been wanting to check it out anyway.  If you want, I can grab one and mail it provided you cover the shipping expenses.

You're a good man PBJ, I don't know why they say the things they say about you (",)

I'm watching a couple on ebay at the moment but I think as long as your shop has decent clean looking ones, and the price includes AV lead (not RF!) and a controller I may run with that. I'll keep you posted...

I've got a few of dreamcast bits, memory card, rumble packs and a VMU you can have if you want them. I have no idea of the condition, they were in a box of other stuff I got. PM me you address and I'll send them if you want them.

Looks like i might have a man in Japan to source me one. Really cheap, and freight is a bit lower too. I'll see how it pans out (",)

Hey Dan-o, shop near here always has them in stock. I can get one and ship it to you no problem. Send me a pm at the fort if you want me to pick one up for you.

What price have they got? PBJ's place was $54, although that post is gone for some reason. The JAP ones are really cheap, but I seem to have lost contact with my man in Japan for the moment, and also I'll want to chip it for most enjoyment. If your guy has reasonable prices for a basic setop (console, controller, AV lead not RF), we can try him. The more I think about Metropolis Street Racer, the more I want one

I finally picked one up cheap from the UK. It came with a scart lead though, no use to me. I don;t suppose you have a genuine Sega AV lead in that box of bits?

get a VGA box, most of them have composite out on the side as well, but DC games look pretty great through VGA

Not sure but I'll check Monday morning.

Thanks (",)

Malenko, the VGA boxes cost more than I paid for the console! I will avoid buying one out of principal

No luck unfortunately. I'll ask the mate that gave me the box of stuff if he has a loose one.

Just had another play with the cable. Made a ghetto mod by grafting a better quality video lead on to test the difference. Couldn't really see much. I think next year I'll be tempted to get get a VGA box. I have a 17" PC monitor which it would look sweet on...

I'm sure your attempt would be more aesthetically pleasing.

I would lose much slack fu for doing this. Turns out there is a UK seller of aftermarket cables that actually work. That sounds like a lot less work (",)
