I noticed that they're harder to come by as well. I'll let you know if I find a source.

what's the quality on these puppies? I bought a PS One version a long time ago and unfortunately it was shit :(

I have one, not sure what color, but they are impossible to find anymore. Probably worth what he's charging, or close to it.

I have one and would say that they're pretty good quality. Not cheapo plastic like some kind of Famiclone would be made of something. The translucency is a little bit cloudy, which indicates a lower grade of plastic, but it doesn't seem to damage easily at least.

Sega released official replacement shells in Japan that are higher quality, but they only replace the top half of the shell, leaving you with a two-tone Dreamcast. They still look pretty nice, though. That way it also matches the two-tone millenium controllers they released.

I'd certainly be very interested in a black one, especially glossy/piano black. Even if it was only the top half of the shell.
