$99 bucks for a 1st Gen Sega CD?

that is hideously overpriced.
you'd have to be psycho to pay that. Seriously, look in the $50 range for that.
I'd even say $50 is too high. Finding the box will be tough, but if you need JUST the unit, it can be had for around $20.Originally Posted by Krazy_kamino
It seemed high but I hadnt seen any with the box. Im glad that I asked first. Thanks guys.
its way too overpriced. they will never sell it for that price
Uhm.. he's talking about the 1ST GEN model guys! The one with the slide-out motorized tray.
Don't any of you guys EVER check eBay? These models have been fetching a pretty penny on eBay in the last few months. I know.. because I've been looking for one to replace my two now semi-functional units and can't seem to bring myself to bear with the prices they're going for lately (especially since I paid about a third of what they go for now.. years back).
Having said that.. if I COULD find a brand new, in the box, complete with manuals model 1 in my neck of the woods for $99.. I'D buy it.
I just sold one a few months ago for 28$. 99 is way to high, even for a complete one.
If it's a NEW SCD Model 1 then $99 might be a bit high but not unreasonalbe. If it's used with all the documents, bags , shielding brackets and packing (in good condition) then $40 seems to be the high-fair price. SCD units can be had with the Genesis attached around here from $10 up to about $30. Personally for $99 I better be looking at a CDX
Also the model 1's are getting a bit lean in avaliability, since the tray units for any cd system tend to go out more ofter than flip-up lid models. I suppose that many SCD 1's are finding themselves in a junkyard these days
That may explain the rising price trend... but who would actively look for the same model system that died on them when the model 2 and cdx are around?

I got a mostly new (besides some small amount of wear on the box) first version Mega Drive (Japanese, not Euro/UK) plus the original Mega CD unit from Dojoksy a while back, $150 I believe...*shrug*
Umm...hmm....
Alot of these threads asking about the value of certain games/systems have been showing up here in the B&S forum lately and they really don't belong here. If you are BUYING (wanted to buy) or SELLING (either for sale or on ebay) feel free to post a thread here. The only exception to this is when a deal goes bad or you are looking for someone to complete a deal. (ie. the OROCHI WHERE ARE YOU? thread).
This isn't the what's it worth forum or the is this a good deal forum. It's for buying and selling. That's really it. If you do have general questions about the worth/value of a game or system, how about trying a few of these sources:
http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1
The DP video game forum, the most widely used forum on the board. Chances are, you'll get a good idea of an item's value here.
and if that doesn't help you, how about buying one these 2 great guides:
http://www.digitpress.com/dpg_plug.htm
Either one of these sources should help you on your way!
Moving this to the VG forum. ------->
<<SWOOSH>>
I hate to interrupt the mood set by this fine example of a public service message, but this topic has been in the VG Forum all along, Vaderman. :)
I do agree with the reasoning, though.
I'd even say $50 is too high. Finding the box will be tough, but if you need JUST the unit, it can be had for around $20.Yup..That's what I paid but new in box..it can be had for around $20
Though I was standing in front of a Software ETC. at the time and they only offered him $5.00 x_x
.. I would. I guess this is where I finally let the cat out of the bag and talk about the "kind" of collector I am. There's someone in this forum (name escapes me now) who calls himself "the console collector".. or something like that. That's me as well.. kinda'.Also the model 1's are getting a bit lean in avaliability, since the tray units for any cd system tend to go out more ofter than flip-up lid models. I suppose that many SCD 1's are finding themselves in a junkyard these days
That may explain the rising price trend... but who would actively look for the same model system that died on them when the model 2 and cdx are around?
You see.. I'm EVEN more proud of my consoles than my games. Why? Because when I start collecting for a system.. I HAVE to have EVERY physically different version of it. For example.. I have a Sega Gen/CD model 1 combo; a Sega Gen/CD model 2 combo; a Genesis 3 unit and a JVC X'eye (Still looking for a CDX); and they MUST be working and cosmetically nice. Boxes and manuals are not as important to me.. but nice to have.
If I can't afford ALL of the models off the bat.. I start with a rarer one (Which is why I have a Turbo Duo and NOT a TG-16 yet.). I have both models of NES, both models of SMS and both SNES's. I have 3 3DOs and I'm a little embaressed to say how many PSXs; and I hate to admit what happened when I decided I wanted Import Saturns as well.
Umm...Ed:
I moved it to the video game forum and left a shadow topic in the B&S forum. I didn't see another topic. Care to share it with me?

Sorry, saw this and posted well before you did, assuming it'd been here right along, so I assumed it hadn't been there. My bad.
You can't go by ebay prices, they are usually way too high. And I agree $99 is much too much even for a boxed first gen Sega CD, I'd pay $50 plush shipping for a CIB one, tops. Try gametz.com or bidiots.com
