Good Place To Buy Sega Cables?

[Daria]

Alright short story: I just redid my entertainment center and finally got around to hooking up my favorite systems via system selector to a single channel. Yay! Bad news is I can't find any of my av cables for either my Genesis (model 1) or Saturn. Boo.

Checking ebay there seems to a single power seller that provides these cables, and he doesn't combine shipping. Buying the two single cables I need I end up paying $19.08. When I add some extension cables for the SNES it sky rockets to $38.16. That's insane.

I've tried a local retro store, and all they carry is RF. And I've tried radio shack.

My question is... is there an online store that supplies these items but doesn't gouge on shipping? Or alternatively, does anyone have any spares to sell?

Those seem to be the 2 hardest AV cables to find.

My store has been out of stock for a while but I just found a wholesaler who carries them so I should be getting some in soon. If I have extras when I get them I'd be more than happy to sell them to you.

Is that $19 in shipping...or the total with the cables?

I'd probably have to charge $20 total shipped for both so if that helps let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Electric-Quarter? They're a local NH store, might be worth checking out.

Sega PArts on the net.

I may have both - I'll check tonight for ya.

have you checked craigslist? Also, Genesis model 2's go for about 15-20$ complete.. ya could go that route.

The SNES, N64 and Gamecube share the same A/V cable, so you can pick up one for either system and it'll work.

But yeah, Genesis A/V cables are a bitch and a half to find. I haven't had issues with Saturn ones, though, so that's a bit odd to hear.

Daria, I have the genesis a/v cords. PM me and we can work something out.

I have extra SNES/N64/GC cables... what I was trying to buy was controller extensions. I'm not digging sitting on the floor. :P

MeTmKnice: I have a Genesis Model 2, but I like my model one better. May get cables for the 2 eventually, as it shares with the model 3 which I also have.

Hey Daria. Is the seller on Ebay "videogameawholesale" ? Looks like they do combine shipping unless it says otherwise in the item description. So far, I've checked a bunch of random items for sale by this seller and have yet to come across a "no combined shipping" notice.

I have Genesis model 1 AV cables for sale in my sale thread, PM me if you're interested. However I have noticed that the Genesis can look a little better when connected via RF rather than composite, given you use a good RF switch. Of course RGB or S-Video via a mod would be the way to go if picture quality is of chief concern, but that's another story...

Yes it is, but they don't do a full combined shipping. The auction says they only do 25% on multiple items. So for the three auctions I was considering, it's $3.75 off of $15. Or $11.25. For a few cables that just seems like a lot.

If they're my only option I'll have to order from them, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a rip off first, you know?

I have nothing but postive things to say about this vendor. Does he still sell on ebay? Many of my cables have came from him at reasonable prices. A++++
