MOTHER OF GOD!!! THE DREAMCAST MARACAS!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I need a job to justify this dreamcast revival. Got a working one off ebay for £16 with 6 games and 2 pads. 1 pad didn't work but I have 5 now so that's not important. The best bit is getting into power stone 2, crazy taxi 2 (2 quid) and hammering back through Jet Set Radio! :D

Missed out on Sega Bass Fishing and a rod at £7.50 :(

Love the dreamcast controllers, so much fun!

I think that version of the Sega Master System with Safari Hunt and Hang On also had a hidden game built in. I can't remeber how you get access to it has a friend showed me many moons ago. My Master System was the same model but had Alex Kidd built in.

The Mega Drive 2 I had For Sale on here wasn't the above...

Not sold the SMS1 maybe the near £100 was a bit heavy, but to me it is worth the asking due to quality of the unit and box. Maybe one day it will actually fetch this or more...

tbh your living in dream land !

ms even mk1s are quite easy to pick up . i was going to buy one on bay other day with games nice condition and was not even bid on ! 100 pound lol .

what people need to remember with sega ms md and snes and so on is they sold millions . virtually every house house hold had them or still does in lofts and so on. now is a good time to buy but not at rose tinted prices.

mega drives are same even ones that are mint dont even go for that much . sega md and master system never fetch as much as nintendos. if your after investments pick up snes tbh.

sm 1 in nearly mint i wouldnt pay more than 30 quid !
sm would be about 45-50 max !
snes would best 70-80 !

these are in like pristine condition. players slightly aged you talking 5-20 quid max. stick to a budget and just keep looking. they aint as rare as some make out and youll get what you looking for.

sorry didnt mean to come across like that but you wont ever get 100 quid for a master system in any time soon maybe a pristine one in ten years time :p. i sold one i brought for a fiver with ten games last week for 40 quid !

this morning just checked for a laugh numerous n64s with games megadrives master systems nes for under a tenner lol .

noticed some have in members market started either selling or collecting . this needs to be watched as buying and selling for profit isnt allowed and a few are starting to do this. as they become even more collectable this needs watching more and more.

more realistic price

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEGA-MAST...onsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item4abb5ddcea

about 40-50 ;)

hehe a pound

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sega-Mast...onsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item2ec16c6d9a

add whats missing a tenner max .

like mentioned there are realistic prices and ebay prices . good luck with sale though.

I am always a bit dubious when I see high priced consoles on ebay like for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Mario-World-Super-Nintendo-SNES-Mint-Console-Set-Collectors-Retro-NES-N64-/261084687914?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&nma=true&si=I%2Fc%2FtjGM4yML6ZaOdFaBJu3tYs8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

A mint condition console with booklets etc however the box isn't in that great a shape (which for me is a big thing) so I would say that it wouldn't warrant the high price tag that it sold for but never the less it did. But then I think did it or did the seller have people bid on it to drive the price up to make people think this is what they are worth now thus driving up prices of everything?
 
I fell a victim of a seller doing a bit of shill bidding last evening. Reported them to eBay.

If I get a strike, so be it, I was informed by CS who claimed to take necessary action against the seller, that I can have this potential strike removed.
 
apparently my svideo cable for n64 is ready to ship to me!!! woooo! will get some images of onscreen difference up asap once i get it
 
ok so N64 Svideo cable arrived today.....WOW!. was swapping between Scart and this and the difference is just immense. For the £11.80 it cost me including postage its the best N64 upgrade you can buy tbh

just a few quick images as i off out now, taken from tv screen on Galaxy S2 but you can see the difference on the edges of everything and overall stupidly good image quality from this!...on screen its bloomin' fab!
