it has ten games with cases and manuals. all wires are present as well. so how much do you think that is worth? all games are common by thw way.

If they are all common, then try to go for $30-40 bucks. Thats $10 for the system and $3 for each game. It really depends on what 10 games there are, how much you like those games, and how bad you want a saturn. Personally, I would consider $50 to be the absolute ceiling on a deal like that, but that's just me.

i got one for $20 at a flea market the other day, it had 2 controllers and 7 games, i think the rarest was like an R4 (i dunno, check my list, i update it whenever i get a new find) but they were'nt all complete. also it only had the AV cord, no power cord. i think it was a pretty fair price.

Well I bought my first saturn for 120 cdn with 17 games, light gun and two controllers

but it really depends on how much you want it as well.

I got mine for $100AU with 8 games, some common, and in a box. Thats a good price here.

Saturns sell by themselves for the price of $40.00 or more. If you're getting 10 games you want to play, I think that $75.00 would be a more realistic offer. If the games look sporty / crappy, maybe $50.00.

As someone else said though, it depends on how badly you want it. If you want it bad, even $100.00 probably wouldn't be too bad of a deal.

Yeah, a Saturn is worth at least $15 (so says the guide, which usually gives values lower than most sellers want to get), and I'd pay up to $20 for a complete system. Another factor to consider--how many controllers does it come with, and are they version 1 or version 2? (Version 2 controllers are head and shoulders above the initially released U.S. controllers.)

I thought that Saturns were basically about $20 on Ebay, if you just want the system with a controller and basic hookups?


If you can find one at a Game Crazy store, they sell them for $19.99 when they have them in stock.


Also, make sure to get one that has the round buttons, because if you ever want to mod it, those are the kind you need if you are going to get it modded.

I bought a Saturn at a Flea Market awhile back for $10, but it was bare bones, no controllers or hookups, but I got it because it was one of the round button ones. Now, I just need to get it modded.

When you seel Panzer Dragoon Saga (and you eventually will because the temptation of $140 will be too tempting to resist) you should give your friend a $50 spot.

Wow, awesome score. I'd kill for a find like that. I'm willing to pay $30 for just the console with the essentials, but I haven't even been fortunate enough to find that. I've come across a handfull of unnoteworthy games, and that's it.
