How much did you all pay for your Dreamcasts?

Post by Dreamcast Is Still Alive »

I bought my Dreamcast approximately 2 weeks after it was released (9/20/99) and i paid $199.99 for it. But it was worth every penny!!!

Eh, I actually used the Seganet rebate deal, so technically I paid nothing. (Especially since Sega allowed people to cancel SegaNet early without penalty.)

I recieved mine 9.9.99, but I payed $50 for it a few months ago. (Same machine, single purchase) You won't be able to figure out what happened, and I won't tell you, so stop trying.

1st - $139 refurbished from funcoland. nov 99
2nd - $9 ebay (bad controller port). jul 2k
3nd - $9 ebay (bad controller port). oct 2k

i sold off parts for the third one for about $40.

The 99 1st and 2nd still work flawlessly, but the fan in the 99 is a bit noisy, which is really annoying.
