Good Deal?

Post by Overload »

Would you say $15 for a working model 2 Genesis without the cables is an alright deal? It does come with a controller.

I am going to say no, just for the reason of everytime I goto the flea market I see them all over the place, 2 controllers, a game or 2, wires, for 15-20. But up to you. If its in PERFECT condition, then to me of course thats a yes.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

depends on your area to they pop up around here but do often cost more than that here although sometimes with games (which usually suck)

Well it's from a trustworthy friend, and I'm going to inspect it beforehand to make sure it works fine.

Plus, on ebay they are all around $15 for working systems after shipping, and that's without a controller.

Like stated above, depends on your area honestly. Last summer, the dreamcast was the BIG item out where I do my hunting, this year its sega and nintendo. Either way...its only 15$ not like he said 1500 ;)

$15 isnt that big of a deal, so if you want it go for it. Last genesis I bought, I got for $5, all cables, 1 controller, and a few games. It depends on where you look and your luck to find one cheaper

It's not a bad deal and it's only $15 but as mentioned above I sometimes see them for $5 with all hookup cables but it depends on the area... 8)
