Dreamcast?

[Bobs_Hardware]

Want to buy this..
Dreamcast plus stuff


and this
Shenmue 2

The system itself is VERY cheap ($25US) but the game is quite expensive ($75US), and seeing as I\'ve never ordered anything off the internet before I\'m somewhat trepidant towards making any bids etc.  So I was wondering if anyone could help me out with words of wisdom or anything like that?  How reliable is it?  Is it worth the money?  And I want Shenmue 1 dammit!!!

If anyone wants to help me out even more Go to the Sega Dreamcast section

Well, I order from the Internet quite often, and I buy and sell on ebay somewhat regularly, and I\'ve never had any trouble. But, both of the sellers on the auctions you linked to have 0 feedback ratings, which isn\'t necissarily bad, but it\'s something I shy away from since there\'s no established information about whether the seller is reliable or not.

:alien:

well, how about YOU... make the bids for me... just to find out

[Bobs_Hardware]

dammit, dur.. $50 isn\'t the price, it\'s the current bid :D *slaps forehead*

I needs to do more research  

[Bobs_Hardware]

Ok ok ok...

Booyah

yeah, dont buy ANYTHING from a seller with a 0 rating, AND one that just recently changed thier name

wow, shenmue 2 goes for 75$
i might be prone to sell mine before the xbox version comes out

[Bobs_Hardware]

Bah, well now I don\'t know what to do..

another thing, piracy was rampant on the dreamcast

games could be played without any sort of mod chip/boot disk

take this auction for example

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1382589562

a simple auction for shenmue 1 for the DC

i will also throw in a free copy of shenmue 2 email me for details

we all know what he means by "copy"

be carefull what you are bidding on.  i only bid on auctions that are VERY specific on what they\'re selling and possess pictures of merchandise

[Bobs_Hardware]

dammit..

is http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1382724950 that specific enough??  The guy has pictures of pretty much everything there, all listed very proffessionally.  If YOU were interested in it.. would you think it\'s safe enough to purchase?
 
I\'m new to all this dammit!!

That guy lives in my city too.. I should steal it from him...

its yer call

get MSR and TC out of the list of games

i\'d go for it

[Bobs_Hardware]

Well, I just bid on it..

funny, i had to really psyche myself into making the bid  breathing heavily etc.

so far, $45 US (approximately) is what I would be paying  Hope I don\'t get ripped off  Meh, s\'only money.

Now onto Shenmue 1 - 2!!

I hope you get it for that price!

Well, I was going to offer to bid for you, but since you\'ve bid already

I do have to say, I\'ve been lightly contemplating getting a DC myself, just for a copy of Shenmue, and now with all these posts about it, I may just have to see if I can find a good cheap set myself.

Oh, and from personal experience, be careful with the bidding. Once you get started, it\'s VERY easy to addicted at first and spend tons of money before you realize it.

Good luck on the bid..  I don\'t think you\'ll be dissapointed. Well, if you have an excessively hard time finding games (and the right games) you might be a little.. but hey.. just import some games from the US and use a cheat device to bypass the territorial lockouts.
