Selling a Dreamcast

    I'm not into retro gaming but I have a Sega Dreamcast that I want to sell. I was wondering where would be the best place to get a fair price for it. (It works fine has the appropriate leads, one controller, and Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi.) P.S. I also just found a collection of Ps1 games that I would sell!

    Adverts.ie is the best spot to get rid of that.

    You could always drop into "The RAGE" in Dublin and I'm sure they'd take it off your hands.
    Probably not for as much as someone on adverts but it would be a quick sale if you live around the city.

    I'd also say Adverts is the place to sell it and get a good price, a sale to a shop will always have to have margins taken into account while selling it yourself, while it may take longer, will mean all the cash will be yours.
    Best thing is to take a look and see what Dreamcasts have been selling for with similar numbers of games, you're in luck because, for a collector starting out, you couldn't do better than Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi.
    The PS1 games will shift as a bundle, try not to get too bogged down with splitting them up, that said PS1 games are fetching relatively little these days, or so it seems.

    I was thinking around €50 but I live in Roscommon.

    Nothing wrong with that, I got my Dreamcast for €50, thought it was very fair :)
