Thats really overpriced - from the BIN price I expected to see some of the rarest Saturn games (PAL copies of Shining Force, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes etc, or Stellar Assault SS, Psychic Killer Taromaru, Silhouete Mirage etc). The seller has also underestimated just how easy it is to get those games in mint condition, none of those games are particularly rare and most are JP versions which are usually much easier to come by - you could easily find all 25 games for a fraction of the price he's asking.

That's a really mouth-watering collection, but one grand is WAY too much.

its a nice collection but way overpriced. Personally seen much better collections-its easy to have 1000 dollars in saturn stuff with a small amount of stuff involved (some of the games are very expensive) I know because mine was worth in excess of 1000 and it wasn't very big

I don't think its expensive.
The stuff is in really mint condition as if it was new, keep in mind this system is like 14 years old.
For the usual gamer who just wants to play the games he will buy the $20 saturn , burn the games and enjoy.
But for the freaks who always want to have the real experience with the manual and perfect condition, I guess you just should pay up for that kind of luxury.

It is a lot of money, but it is reasonable, specially if you are a working adult and that cherish this kind of stuff, you can easily pay for it

It really isn't reasonable at all - like I said, all of those games are very common and you could find the whole 25 in mint condition for a fraction of the price. The most expensive game there is the JP Guardian Heroes, and thats just $50 - everything else can be had for much cheaper.

Also, I just noticed that the guy threw away all the spine cards for the JP games, meaning not a single one of them is complete like he claims :lol:

To the right person that is worth it, im just not that person.

like the dreamcast shmup lot that keeps popping up month to month. Its EVERY dreamcast shooter, EVERY special edition, every segacast edition if the game had one. He still has all the dogtags/mousepads/phonecards/ and so on and i believe that one is like 3500$? Now to me...thats worth it heh.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

Well, first off, if EVERYTHING, the console included, was NIB that would be one thing and if the console wasn't modified it would help. As it sits, it's an okay collection but worth about 1/4 of his asking price at best. It would be hard pressed to reach that high even if everything was NIB.
