There is no particular reason any normal (stock) dreamcast would cost more than $30 if it didn't even come with a game, even with a pair of controllers + vmu.

Maybe you misread the currency translation?


Your stick looks like a custom arcade stick. Its value really depends on the type of parts used, and its general "feel" (firmness of stick, tactileness of buttons). Typically, since its used, it will be very hard to resell, as most gamers who are interested in a custom arcade stick are after a very particular "feel" and will favor new parts from a specific brand.

hi, thanks for the reply , i would have answered sooner but my internet went out !!! Oh, im not looking to sell it, its the only one ive ever had that had the joystick and buttons from an actual street fighter arcade game, its really heavy though, solid wood haha, the dreamcast went on ebay for over 230 dollars, still wondering why, no games, just a controller and vmu, i would post the link but the auction ended, it was in my watch list, maybe the link will still post... if anyone is interested ill post it.

thanks
