Hey everyone,

Just wondering how much this is actually worth for its condition. A guy is locally selling a Sega Genesis V2 (PAL), Sega Genesis CD attachment (PAL) & a 32x attachment (NTFC) for $230USD.

So my question is, is that a good deal or am I getting ripped off? It comes with all cables, controllers + RF shield/plate for the 32x.

Thanks

Prob worth 125$-160$ they are many console everywhere so the price cannot be that high unless the guy is high Just deal with him and check if they are in good condition that the best thing you can do!

P.s do he have box or he have nothing???

No boxes, he just refurbished them apparently and comes with 2 year warranty...

He won't budge, tried to get him down $50 and he said its firm. Just can't find any other sega's in Australia (PAL) with CD for anything under $250USD.

Well buy them , i know you get ripped for like 60-80 $ but the guy want to make money i understand that! and if it got 2 years warranty i hope it is not a scam!

Ask him this : How you will replace something rare with a 2 years warranty?

Yer it's selling from a bad area, so I'm wouldn't count on the 2 year warranty (the guy will probably move next week, my guess it anyway).

Would you know anywhere else to buy them cheaper, as for my budget it's pushing it to the edge for a sega?

:rofl2:

Tried ebay, nothing great there. But might actually ring up a couple of local retro stores and see if they got anything (didn't think about that) :)

Thanks for the help.

Hmm shops also seem to have the same prices if not more over here in Australia ($300).

I guess its just a waiting game then, one will pop up when you least expect it for a good price (even if its just part by part).

You dont think ebay would be a better buy?

I never got scammed on ebay but i also never bought anything over 500 from there.

Edit:
Nvm already been mentioned

Gamestop sells retro systems i think a sega is like 60 bucks then you can search online for the cd attachment

Ended up getting a Sega Genesis V2 for $50 + Shipping with 2 controllers and cables (looks brand new) on ebay.

I think I got a better deal by waiting, now for the other parts :)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
