That's, what, just over £20? Sounds about right to me, though it's always worth trying to haggle if you can.

$55 AUD is about $42 in USD, which I think is WAY too much for a Dreamcast with a controller. I think you should pay about $15 (or about $20 AUD) before shipping for one. That's my two cents, I could be totally wrong.

If anyone can find me a US Dreamcast for $15 + postage, I'll pay it in a shot (or trade it for my spare PAL one?).

Man, you aussies are getting screwed by the Dreamcast fairy. I can walk around the local flea markets and find at least one or two dreamcasts for 15 dollars. Hell, at yardsales they can be even cheaper, like someone just slapped a sticker on it for 25 cents.

Prices on PAL and NTSC systems are diffrent.
Isnt Australia PAL?
I.g here you can sell a PAL version of Super Mario Bros for NES for about $10 - $20, but a NTSC version might be sold for $3 - $5 (if not less).
So if you see a PAL dreamcast to $15.00, tell me :P

Sounds like a decent enough price to me, though theres always room for haggling... especially on the games ($30 for 5 games is more reasonable, unless theyre uber late releases like shenmue and rez).

if you feel comfortable with the price buy it. The dreamcast has a lot of great games

$AUS8 a game is a pretty damn good deal to be realistic. On the rare occasions you see any at all in pawn shops here, they're at least $AUS10, more likely 15-20 (Here = Perth).
As far as the consoles themselves, Cash Converters charge closer to $70-80 a throw for DCs, with one controller.
