I was searching around online for a Sega 32X, and I came across a brand new factory sealed system. How much is this worth. The seller is asking $312.99 USD, or best offer, for it. Should I get it or wait for a better deal elsewhere?

Factory sealed does sound too good to be true.

You'd better off getting second hand unit from a trusted source.

If you plan on using it don't spend the money to buy sealed. Plus it is pretty easy to reseal stuff, I would go shopping around a local game store for a used one.

OK, thanks for the answers, even the vacuous one above. I decided against buying it, as I found a better deal with another seller by about $200.00 less, new in box, just missing one cable.

The price was a bit on the high end but...still within acceptable range, considering that new 32Xs are not getting any cheaper and I expect most new 32Xs bought 10 years from now will be more expensive than today.

I have great memories with my 32x playing Aliens but no bro that price is way too high unless you're an avid collector.

As a collector I would say yes if not then pass on it.
