How much would a Sega Saturn with all the hookups and stuff cost me?

$10 at a garage sale, probably more on eBay, like $20.

With "stuff", do you mean the controllers or additional hardware? Because acessories will bump up the price a bit.

Don't listen to Sirgin... Tongue

On e(vil)bay, it will run you about $40-55 with hookups, controllers. Also, look for ones bundled with games. In stores, they usually sell saturns for about $50-65. Personally, I have NEVER seen one in the wild.

I've got 2 Saturn systems.

One I got from a guy on Craigslist for $6. It was missing the power cord.

The other I paid $35 for, CIB, from a shop near me.

Not really, mate. It all depends in where you are, and at what time. On average (That is they key here), Saturn's online will run you $40-55. Bar none. If you find one cheaper online, they you have nabbed an outlier, or one that doesn't adhere to the normal average. Bad Enough Dude was lucky, and many people are lucky. I was lucky in getting a Virtual Boy for free. The average cost on a VB is about $25-40, sometimes less, sometimes more.

And anyway, did you even find one that cheap? Cause that is one of the consoles on your wishlist.

ANYHOO!!!

This is a great site for finding out the average cost of a game online. It isn't an exact science, but it will give you an idea as to what you should expect to pay.

Hope this clears up some confusion. Wink

That site is awesome. That will definitely make pricing games a whole lot easier.

I haven't yet. Otherwise it wouldn't be on my wishlist anymore now would it? Wink

I did some lawnmowing today and yesterday so I have money to buy a console on eBay. (List is slowly getting smaller)

They only use USD$ though... So it might not be accurate for you. But it is awesome. Bar None.

I haven't seen a Saturn since '97 or so, about the same time I had last seen any games still on shelves new or used. Tongue

Yeah, plus the fact that things (especially loose games on eBay) tend to be more expensive here than in the US.

Still, it can atleast give an idea of what price to look for. ........Bar none Tongue
