Dreamcast -- what's it worth these days
« on: June 22, 2004, 10:58:41 pm »
For you DC fans -- I've got a DC with about 10 hours of run time on it, a Concept 4 steering wheel that has never been out of the box, two controllers, a rumble pack, a couple of memory expansions packs, and a few games (Pod Racer, Crazy Taxi, NamcoMuseum,  Super Magnetic Neo, and Outtrigger).   Any clue what I should be asking for it if I decide to toss it on the table at my next garage sale?   (I've just got too much stuff and I never can seem to find the time to play it.....)

Thanks!

I'm not sure how much it's all worth.  I know that when Funcoland quit carrying it they put it on sale for $20 or so.  Then there was a % off of that.  Still kicking myself for missing out on that.  If you decide to sell, post up a price.  I may be interested.  No other way to get CPS3 games that I know of.  ;D

They're still available at GameStop from time to time for 20 dollars, and theres a couple at the local Game Rush for 20 dollars. Games are going for around $6.99 now unless they're really really good. Accessories are an afterthought.

IMHO, I think $50 would be a fair price.  Not that I'd sell mine for that, but then again, I'd never sell mine.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

unfortunately, money-wise... the dreamcast is worth next to nothing.  Those who would actually sell it usually just want to get rid of it for cheap, and those who really love the thing probably already have one.  You could probably ask $50 like mentioned, but don't be surprised if you get knocked down a bit, especailly at a garage sale.

It's a shame too, for those that really know the system, its priceless.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

DC's don't fetch much anymore. I bought a DC with the same steering wheel for $35 off ebay last month and it included the keyboard and mouse too.
Experience is directly proportional to equipment ruined

I've been stalling on picking up a backup dreamcast for 20 bucks from Game Rush. So many good games! And cheap ;)

That's the unfortunate part -- It's a great game that's so underpriced that it's hard to convince yourself to part with it!  (Ahh....if I only had more room and time!)

No other way to get CPS3 games that I know of

You could also try an xbox, they have some CPS3 games (street fighter 3, MvsC2 etc) but one game for the xbox will cost you more than a DC + the entire CPS3 catalogue

Exactly, not to mention the KOF series.  It's a great platform for fighters.  Isn't the new NEO-GEO hardware based on the DC chipset?
