[QUOTE="amari24"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] may I ask which games came with it, and how much did it cost?Darkman2007

It came with 2 controllers, the system, Rayman, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop, Crusader no Remorse, Tomb Raider, Rampage World Tour, an NBA game, and Daytona. I got it for 80 bucks including shipping. Rayman was complete mint condition, I hopped on the deal as soon I saw that Rayman was included. It was pretty expensive CIB, so it was an extra bonus to have it included with the system Unfortuntley the shell of the Saturn is pretty beat up, left side is popped open as well.

80 dollars..........I would actually consider this as spending a bit too much, none of the games are rare, and I personally wouldnt have paid more then 60 dollars for it (especially if the Saturn is in bad shape), you could get a deal like that for £40 or so here

sorry to tell you but you might have actually gotten ripped off as opposed gotten a good deal. (or at least I wouldnt have sold it for that)

Rayman alone was expensive if you're including the case and manual all in good condition. To have it included with the system was a plus. There were cheaper options, but I wanted to get Rayman and it was just too expensive by itself, it was around $40 with the case and manual. So I just got the Saturn that included it, along with other great games like Crusader, VF2, etc. The condition wasn't really a turn off to be honest, everything works, and it plays my games just fine and reads my carts as well. I plan on getting one of the Gray Japanese Saturn's anyways, and I'll just use my other one as a backup. Besides, the fact that games these days cost 60 bucks, I don't picture paying $20 dollars more as a rip off when I'm getting the same enjoyment.

Rayman is expensive??? maybe in the US, you can get the Saturn version of Rayman here for £6 at the most, and thats complete. VF2 is cheap as heck too , and again ,here you can get Saturn Tomb Raider for £5 at most, Daytona is about the same. maybe Saturn games are more expensive in the US? but it just seems to me that most of the games you got were rather low in value and rarity

Yeah I'm in the US so maybe that has something to do with it. Not to mention the game stores near me don''t sell Saturn's. The only Saturn accessory I've seen in the stores I go to was the 3D controller, which was 4 bucks. I never implied those other games were rare or expensive btw. The other games I could've got for dirt cheap, but they came with the system. Rayman was the only one I couldn't find for an exceptional price complete.

The first job I ever had was at a thrift store chain called "Savers" and I remember walking into work and checking out the jewelry/ "rare item" case (I was a fiend for thrift store jewelry) and I saw it bundled up carelessly in plastic, an SNES with Mario Paint with two other games i couldn't quite make up because of the way they bundled it for 25$. I spent the first 5 hours of the day praying that no one would notice it so I could buy it on my lunch break. Luckily no one did and as an added bonus there was Crono Trigger, Star Fox and Mario Cart. Best day at work EVER!

Haha I know what you mean. The real credit should go to my girlfriend for finding this. It was her neighbor having a yard/garage sale and she just casually checked it out. I probably wouldn't have found it myself as I stay away from yard/garage sales for the very reasons you listed lol.

About 5 years ago I found a top loading NES with some games at a yard sale for $15. I walked away a happy camper that day.

I got a working NES in a box for $1.00 at a garage sale a few years back.

Come up to the garage sale while the guy was changing the sticker from $10.00 to $1.00 and I thought, I'll buy that for a dollar.
