WTB: Red Shelled Dreamcast

[dao2]

Hey,

Lookin for a red shelled dreamcast (not one of those mysteriously expensive biohzard dcs, just those old replacement see-through color shells). Either an empty shell or dreamcast in it, whatever :P

Please tell me you have one and ur willing to part :<

Whenever I read "red shell", I think of Mariokart.

I therefore found this thread title very confusing.

A blue shell Dreamcast will travel back in time and take out Sony games division.

i dunno how else to explain em ;p they were called replacement shells and i want a red one :P

He's looking for one of these, except in red. That's a little tutorial I wrote up for when I changed out one into a dark green shell (there was also a light lime green one you could find back then). That's still my primary Dreamcast to this day. Even back when I wrote that (around 2002 or so) the sources for replacement DC shells had just about dried up - these days they are completely dry. The last time I saw shells the sellers wanted something like $100.00+ JUST for the boxed shell. I do have one other dark green shell that still hasn't been used but I'd want quite a bit for it myself.

I have the other colors i really want, smoke/white, blue, lime green. I'm really looking purely for a red one.

edit: and you can get the colored ones for about 50 bucks on ebay (not just the shells, but with hardware in em) they do crop up on auctions. Unfortunately I've only seen the red one once, it seems to be a bit rarer.
