How many years ago did your mate sell it for $200? cant be recent surely.

I would say youll be lucky to get $60 maximum.

In reality, it's worth maybe $35 for the lot. How much you get for it really does depend on where and when you sell it.

You are just joking with the whole $200 thing, right?!

few things about this:

you can laugh all you want about it,no im not joking, i thought it was going for something like that as a package, in a bundle, yet all the while i was asking myself why the hell it would be that much and never believed it half way anyways. Im definitely not that stupid, or else i wouldnt have questioned it and blindly thought theyd give me a nice sum of money.

I thought i might as well give it a shot and try to sell it for 50 or so, but its not worth it.

At Funco(didnt bother taking in the games and system

) i was looking for a/v and ac adapter cords for my Saturn,and they didnt have hardly anything left, just rf switches and hockey games for it. I guess i was stupid enough to think they still sold Saturn accesories and games for it there anymore, eh?

Ive been to at least 7 sites that list the a/v cables that sold for more than 10 dollars for sale to buy online. Anyone know where to find some at a humane price? I need an Ac outlet cord and a/v cables and at least a game or two..

Your friend probably had a rare, or some rare games with his. Like if you had toe Jam and Earl, all the phantasy stars I bet you woudl get 200 bucks. But none of those games seem to be rare so Id say abouy 60 bucks. To be honest unless your REALLY hard up for cash Id just hang on to it. CAuse one day you will be sitting there wishing you had your genesis back.

Dude keep your genesis, go down to that funcoland and buy a copy of streets of rage 2 if they have it. you won't be upset about keeping it then.

Dude, DON'T sell your Genesis. I wish everyday I had never sold it. I had 15-20 games and I played it like every day... it is the greatest system I've ever owned (to be fair I never really gave much attention to my Super NES). I had Landstalker, MK2, Sonic 2-&Knuckles, Toejam and Earl, WWF Royal Rumble, Shining Force 1+2.... I even had Sega Channel for a period of time. There is no way you will get any fair amount of cash for what you will be giving up. Be smart and get yourself a copy of Gunstar Heros.

I think i will keep it. I feel inseperable from my other systems like Snes, NES, Saturn,N64, and PSX, i'll never sell those, including even now Genesis. Since i'd been collecting since late laste year i didnt spend much on the games, but now i see that i can really be enjoying them.
