Dreamcast £$?

Somebody gave me a dreamcast last week. It's all boxed with the keyboard, a game pad, and a arcade joystick (both boxed) I know it's old hat now, but can anybody tell me how much i can flog it for? It looks new. Only one game though.

Cheers

You won't get much for any of it really. I bought a DC a few months ago from gamestation, and I paid £27, unboxed, with one controller. (bear in mind they guarantee it for a while with that price). Unless you ebay it, I wouldn't really expect very much more from a private buyer. The arcade sticks sell pretty well on Ebay though, because they're pretty hard to get hold of, what with the DC being such a great system for fighting games.
Honest truth, I'd keep it. You'll rarely pay more than a tenner for a game, from places like gamestation, and there's some great games about for it. If you must get rid of it, I'll have that stick off you!

Nice one mate. No point selling it really.

cheers..

Yeah I'd keep it since there are plenty of gems on that console. Ikaruga being one of them ^_^ Add Capcom VS SNK, Rez, Virtua Tennis 2k, NBA2k, Soul Calibur etc and you'll have a very decent and varied collection of games.

Good advice.

Source a steering wheel and a copy of Daytona and you'll never touch another console again

Trust me
