I found a boxed Saturn for $49.99, other than the system, none of the cords had bags. There was also no sampler disc. Think its too much? I think it may be.

I recently picked up a loose Saturn (loose with all cables and controllers) for $10, and saw another one for sale for $15. So I guess if you're a box lover (by no means am I knocking it) and it's worth $35-$40 for a box, go for it. Sounds high to me but hey, it's all in the eye of the compulsive buyer.
what model Saturn? What's the condition of the box? Does the Saturn indeed work? Is a controller included? I know you can use a Dreamcast power cord and a Genesis RF adapter on Saturn. Well, I'm pretty sure you can use the Genesis RF adapter.
I personally would pass unless you love box! There are better deals to be had for sure. Go to a game show like the East Coast Gaming Expo (www.ecgx.com). I saw a couple Saturns there at great prices.

Genesis RF does not work. I figured it would since NES and SNES were compatible, but I'm still cursing over that experience from ten years ago when I had to make a 2nd 60-mile trip just so I could play my system with the TV. Thankfully, there was some internal memory otherwise a third trip would have been required. I guess I can curse living in rural Iowa too.

What, is it a crime to plug a great show like the East Coast Gaming Expo (www.ecgx.com)?????

I wasn't sure if it would or not. I've always had separate hookups for all of my systems. Sorry about that!

Well, it depends. Do you have a Saturn already? If you do, than skip over this. If not, I would say you may as well buy it. The Saturn has many great exclusive games and the system would be well worth your money.

It depends on what you wanna pay... look hard enough and youll find a bargain!
My Saturn Model 2 came fully boxed with 10 games, fully boxed steering wheel and cost only £16! :D

I got a complete saturn (box, cords, demo, just no bags), froma freind last year along with a complete mint sega cd model 2 and about 15 games total for both systems all boxed, most complete for $16, but that was an awesome deal. I think $40 for a boxed saturn with all cords would be ok, so I'm not going to say your deal is good, but I'm not going to say it is bad either.
