Thinking about selling my dreamcast....

    Yes - I know - this is a Nintendo forum, but there are a lot of the retro type gamers here...

    Anyhow - I haven't played my Dreamcast in yonks and I'm thinking of selling it.

    Kit is as follows (from memory):

    Dreamcast
    2 controllers
    1 VMU
    1 3rd Party Memory
    Official Dreamcast light gun (Have House of the Dead 2 and Confidential Mission)
    Official Dreamcast Arcade Stick
    Dance Mat (I think somewhere, with DDR type game)
    3rd Party version of Samba De Amigo Maracas (And Samba De Amigo Game)
    ABout 40 Original Games - Including Shenmue
    All cables etc...

    What do you guys reckon ? How much is it all worth ?
    I know Shenmue on it's own get about £15-£20 on ebay.
    Would I be better splitting ?

    Am i crazy selling it?
    I hate selling my stuff, but I never actually play it !!! I always seem to hang on to stuff I don't need to.

    Anyhow - suggestions / comments please !!!

    Well I'd be interested in some of that. How much for Samba de Amigo with the maracas?

    I might be interested in some of the games if you want to post up a list. Always looking to complete my collection.

    As for value, it would depend on if you have any of the rarer games, in which case I'd sell those individually and then sell the rest in a bundle.

    Sell it all individually. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,450 ✭✭✭dimerocks


    sell it all to me!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,196 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    I'll get the list of games i have and post them during the week - not in my place at the moment

    If I do decide to split, you're name is on the Samab De Amigo stuff - not sure what I'm gonna do though

    If I do sell as a whole unit what would be a reasonable price to ask for though ?
    Any ideas ?
    Or would I need to post the full list of games first

    Depends on the games/accessories and the condition they're in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    I willl defo buy the console, controllers, memory units, arcade stick and a few games off you (Soul Calibur, Shenmue, PowerStone, Rez, Virtua Tennis etc etc etc...)

    Going by Ebay and assuming the console is boxed, I would be willing to offer 50 euro for the console and accessories. Will also buy a load of games off you depending on the titles. Am off tomorrow and could make it to drogheda.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,196 ✭✭✭deadl0ck

    No thanks

    By the way - it's not boxed

    I appreciate that you want to realise what you think is the full value of it but in fairness:

    50 can be bettered but how much do you expect..

    i might be interested in the lot, how much would you be looking for?

    OK - here's the list of games I have :

    Basic Games (go for about $5 each on eBay excluding shipping):
    Sonic Adventure
    House of the Dead 2
    Ecco
    Rayman 2
    Power Stone
    Sega Rally
    Ready 2 Runble
    Ready 2 Rumble Round 2
    Silver
    Ultimate Fighting Championship
    Soul Calibur
    Marvel Vs Capcom
    Marvel Vs Capcom 2
    Wild Metal
    Toy Racer
    ChuChu Rcoket
    Crazy Taxi
    Space Channel 5
    Worms Armageddon
    ReVolt
    TrickStyle
    Toy Commander

    Harder to get games (About $20 each on eBay excluding postage)
    Skies Of Arcadia
    Shenmue
    Giga Wing
    Daytona USA 2001
    Confidential Mission

    In addition to this
    Official Gun : About $20
    Official Arcade Stick : $15
    ChaCha Amigo Maracas Boxed : $20

    So - I'd let the whole shebang go for 170 yo-yos O.N.O - That's everything including console, cables etc....

    Or am I being totally unreasonable ?
    I would be willing to offer 50 euro for the console and accessories

    50 can be bettered but how much do you expect..
    True - but most of these only come with controllers and some include a gun. I have Controllers, gun, arcade stick, ChaCha Amigo Maracas and Dance Mat.
    Also - Shipping to Ireland would cost

    Oh yeah - I do have to fish it out of my attic and test it, if somebody is interested in taking it !

    EDIT : Actually just saw this thread:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054902029&highlight=Dreamcast
    So I reckon my price of 170 is just about right, considering the extra accessories and games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭honru


    Nothing I'm really interested in there.

    €170 is a fair enough price if anyone is willing to accept it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre

    Console
    Controllers
    Joystiq
    Memory Units

    Soul Calibur
    Daytona USA 2001
    Shenmue


    Will you 90 for the above

    Damn... you got here before me... that elusive Samba monkey has haunted my dreams for years...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,488 ✭✭✭AdrianII


    Ill take the light gun and House of the Dead two - €20 if you post

    Cool, will hold you to that :)

    I reckon you will end up splitting anyway, its very hard to sell a pick package like that on boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,256 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I wouldn't sell it if I was you. I sold mine years ago and I really regret it now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    If you split I'd like to call

    Ready 2 Rumble Round 2
    Marvel Vs Capcom 2
    Crazy Taxi
    Space Channel 5
    Rayman 2

    Are they all boxed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,196 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    Yep - all boxed.

    I'm still undecided about splitting it
