Dreamcast stand

Hey everyone,

I'm new on these forums, never actually owned a Dreamcast as my parents weren't really fan of game consoles back at the time. ;) Anyway, soon I'm going to finally get a Dreamcast as I have very fond memories of the system.

The question, actually, is that I when searching for a DC accidentally stumbled upon a Dreamcast promo stand which was for sale, and would cost only a few euros, but would require a few hundred miles of driving.

Are these stands hard to acquire (in EU)? I think I would eventually regret for not having one... The stand in question is like this, but without the original display.

if its only a few euros, its def worth the trip, they usually go for a few hundred & its not like you find one on ebay every day

Yeah buddy, you better jump on that deal! That is actually a store display kiosk, pretty much a hot collectors item.

That is a fine item for a very nice price. I suggest purchasing it, it is worth the drive, and if you do decide to sell it, you will easily make a profit.

Not often that you find a working kiosk. I would jump on it and not worry about the price of the petrol. Good luck!

Sick 8-)

Are those Madcatz controllers ? They don't look like the standard ones.

I showed my girlfriend your picture and got a lecture about quite a few things actually, one of them being that I'll never have one as long as we share a place to live :o Oh well, at least I tried :(

Yeh theyre the standard official controllers, and theres just enough room in the back to fit vmu/rumble packs in both :)

What you want to do is tell your missus that its quite the conversation piece... (it really is) its gets a lot of "ooo's and aaa's" when people see it :lol:
