    Default Is this a good deal

    I just started collecting and don't know what a really good price is for a sega saturn. A guy down the street will sell me his for $20 and it comes with 3 games.

    That's reasonable. I had a buddy pay $15 about a year ago, so $20 and some games isn't bad at all.

    No, you're grossly over paying. A Saturn and three games shouldn't cost more than $1.99

    Like everybody said.
    Not an amazing deal, but an average price. You'd be getting a some-what of a good deal if all the games were complete.

    What games? That can make all the difference between getting an okay price and an amazingly awesome steal of a deal.

    also check the system from top to bottom, make sure its in good shape, and if you can examine the laser eye, it would be good to check out the entire system to see if it even plays the games he is giving you. Just a heads up.

    Sounds great to me. If I could find a Saturn that cheap, I'd buy it for sure.

    Terrible deal, offer them to pay you for disposing of such a thing.

    As far as I am concerned, $20 is a good deal for any system with all of it's hookups, especially if you live in an area where systems such as these are hard to come by. If I didn't already have a Saturn, the only place I would be able to find one is here or eBay, and either way it would be more than $20 inclusing shipping, and thats without any games.

    I think that is a good deal. Like tholly said though, make sure it works.

    Also you should try going to some of the flea markets out there in San Diego. I hear there are a few things to find there.

    $20 is a good deal for any working Saturn. I paid $20 for a boxed one and got lucky and found a new one for $30.

    I got my Saturn w/ all hookups for $25 shipped off eBay, with 6 games complete with cases and instructions, so I dunno...

    I agree. Even a NES complete and working for $20 is a good deal.

    I pretty much agree. The only systems I would exclude from the "any for a twenty" club would be

    Genesis
    N64
    Playstation

    But if you notice the Saturn isn't on this list so I think it's a fair deal.

    I'd say just about any system you don't already own that comes with 3 games is worth 20 dollars.

    I agree with everyone else,

    though I would check the games but definitly it's not a bad deal more like average though nothing wrong with that though

    it's all good. I would say go for it though.

    Exactly. I can't think of any system that, if I didn't have it and I wanted it, I wouldn't pay a paltry $20 for as long as the condition of the system was good. Especially if it came with three games. Handhelds not included.
