    Best offer $150 or better. Has to be local pickup as the shipping would probably be $100 alone.

    The trick is not to tell people how much you paid for it as it makes you sound like a greedy bastard. ;)

    Dreamcast Arcade stick from the trash outside of an apartment complex in Tachikawa, Tokyo.

    works perfectly and super clean.

    Best thing i've found so far is an N64+rumble pack, mem card, mahora's mask and one controller in very good condition, everything for 5 euros in a flea market 2 weeks ago.

    @Arkanoid Where do you live
    EDIT: @Arkanoid I'm so jealous of your kiosk!

    I just picked up a Sega 32x with the ac, the special adapter cable to hook to the genesis, the adapter converter for hooking to the model 1 genesis and the bottom plate to fit snug with all systems... Works great! I've been playing Doom.

    Cool! I bet anything a Japanese person throws into a garbage can could still be sold as "near mint" on ebay.
    <- can someone please make this as a repro and sell it so me?

    Maybe you should trade him your LaserActive for his kisok. ;)

    Sorry bout the delay. I'm on Long Island. It just figures that yet again someone who shows interest in this thing is never in the same state.

    Nice typo, Mahora's Mask sounds like a bad porno XD

    Not anything spectacular, but quite a few years ago (like, back when I was seven) my dad found a Sega CD Mk2 with like 5 games at some antique store for 20 bucks. It has since been "lent to" my uncle... (The real story is that he said he wanted to "borrow it" to try it out and never fucking gave it back... and now he says we "gave" it to him <_<, god damn Sonic CD was one of the games...) But whatever, I have a Sega CD Mk1 now, which I think is sexier.

    found a boxed game and watch (Climber) on a flea market for 1euro (aprox. 1.24 USD)
    and a boxed, near mint (but missing the adapter and controllers, we have those a plenty) master system 2 for 2.5euro (aprox. 3.09 USD) also on a flea market
    funny story there... we started out with 20euro and ended at 5... seller then says, you can have it for 2.5 :p
