I found a Dreamcast, should I get?

[Plazorn]

Hello. I was browsing around my local video game store when I saw a Dreamcast, it was in really good condition and was only $120, should I buy it?
The store also had a silver ps2 slim and a few Gamecubes, all at the same price.
I am not sure what to pick

and a CD burner, damn 120$ wft. I remember getting a couple for $20 in yardsales

 

[pedro702]

i can get dreamcasts for like 30 euros here damn 120$ is very expensive imo lol

 

[pedro702]

you can get any consoles gamecube,ps2 and dreamcasts under 40$ easily imo

 

[DinohScene]

Yeah 130 USD for just a DC, no.

Unless it's CIB...

 

[NickWiiSports]

You can find a boxed Dreamcast online for like 100 dollars, so no.

 

[DJPlace]

120 no way in hell go for less then 51 if you can.

 

[linkchidori]

Dreamcasts are pretty cheap to get, unless its boxed. I got mine for around $40 (800 mexican pesos)

 

[DJPlace]

i got the black sega sports dreamcast for 45 dollars but that was long time ago hell even years

Check ebay, even with retro inflation I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find something cheaper/better value.

Comes with a controller!

If you don't like it resell it

You can check ebay as suggested, its goes for 80-100 currently on ebay for most working one. Slighty cheaper than your store, in store price is higher since the shop is trying to survive, you can always hunt for one, instead of jumping the gun and overpaid. I paid 71 for a phat PS3 with two controllers and games.

 

[Plazorn]

Alllright! Thanks for the advice, but after he saw me looking at it, the manager lowered the price to $109, still bundled with the controller.
A handy site I found called PriceCharting said that a dreamcast is worth $119
I think its a good deal.
But what do you think?

I bought my last one on ebay for about 30 bucks shipped, gave it to my mom. She never used it, so I got it back and eventually put a gdemu in it. It actually was for my cousin but nobody told me that his sister's husband (at the time) was buying him one so I just gave it to my ma.

Anyway, the system is worth a lot less than some of its games are. Oddly.

A Dreamcast under 100 Euros is very hard to get here in Austria at the Moment.....

 

[KiiWii]

I bought 3 “for parts” for £90, added av and power cables, kept one for dreamshell, and sold the other two each for £50.

$120 seems steep.

unless you really want to play crazy taxi 2 or sonic shuffle i'd skip the dreamcast
nearly all of it's notable games are available on other systems

NOT a good deal.. Not at all..
