Post by TeamXlink »

I've decided to make a separate thread for this, I was asking in the Dreamcast finds thread but I didn't receive many or any reply's for some of them.

I'll start:

Unreal Tournament With Case, Manual, Disc, and Artwork - $7.50

Quake III Arena With Case, Manual, Disc, and Artwork - $7.50

Phantasy Star Version 2 With Case, Manual, Disc, and Artwork - $7.50

Super Magnetic Neo With Case, Manual, Disc, and Artwork - $5

Are those good deals?

those are about the going rates for these games. do you have to pay for shipping? if your able to get those games locally then you would be saving about $10 bucks on shipping. unless they combined the shipping then you would be saving about $5 or $6. i could give you UT and Q3 for $14. but that's only saving you a buck.

These are all locally.

Thank you for the answer.

Quake III can be purchased new/sealed for 5$ off a few ebay sellers I've seen recently.

Others look solid.

cheapest copy on ebay is buy it now $5.99 plus $4 shipping and that is for a used copy. he might get lucky and find an auction style listing for less? you can get lucky on auction style listings if you want to wait. you might just end up waiting for nothing though.

Thank you for the reply's guys.

Ordering online is really hard for me at the moment, so the only method I can purchae, is trades, locally, and money order.

Another one:

Jet Grind Radio Complete - $10.99

This next one caught my eye, it is Fur Fighters I beleive, but it has a front cover to the case that is shiny and changes the image when its angled at the light a differen't way.

It is $19.99 and its compltete but I'm unsure if its a good deal or not.

Are either of those good deals.

Also, the $7.50 deals are really 6.99 + tax, which is 6 cents per dollar for me.

EDIT:

I've got another one that I've found.

White Sega Brand Dreamcast Controller - $4
Madcats Dreamcast Controller - $3

Are those good deals?

What color is the madcats controller? Their first release (white) are rubbish! Don't use it unless you never want to insert any rumble/memory cards in the thing.

Their color'ed versions are also still too tight, but not as much. The only complaint I have with them is their d-pad is ever-so-slightly off center of how your hands fit the controllers, making 2dish games (bomberman) a little hard to play (you go right instead of up, ect).

Fur fighters isn't that great of a game to drop that much cash on, imo.

i would have to think so. some people want $35 just for the Dreamcast console alone. most local stores by me want somewhere around 30 for one. so you would be getting all the games and memory cards for like $5
