chezybezy: Really?
Yup. Remaining gamestation stores wont take them at all - neither will most secondhand stores (though some will if you're selling an original megadrive / megadrive 2 as they can package them together).

Edit: also what Schnuff said!

Schnuff: Both were bundled with the console so nearly everybody owned them.
It was bundled with this game here too.. as one of the few we had at the time, it became a classic!

little sidenote to what ive said here: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post62468

one of the secondhand stores here actually used to buy the packaging for megadrives, snes etc back in the day (if it was undamaged) - or swap value for games.

when the retro gaming thing gained some momentum they broke them out of storage and were able to sell pristine "off the shelf" appearence 16bit (and some prior) era consoles for a much bigger profit margin to the general public and ebay.

even Steve (the guy who started gamestation here) didnt see that one coming!

awh i guess that makes sense, however given how it was forced upon everyone and thus ended up becoming many peoples first i can see the selling potential to every fan!
and that explains it i sent back my sega for the nes. the ironic thing was for the last 30mins i had this as my wallpaper (i auto rotate):

e: please do not worry people my desktop wallpaper on both monitors is now something much more conducive.

This is interesting and likely the Retro Console releases still turn up a profit.

just a little. same day i bought my ps2 secondhand back in 2003, the price of a secondhand megadrive went from about £40 with ten games to about £80 with two (my secondhand ps2 was cheaper btw - with two controllers and three games - though that was a special deal from the staff as i knew them).

I had an extensive Dreamcast collection back in the day. Sold it all for around $10. :(

surely you could have swapped it with a prostitute for more $s worth? O____o

sorry guys was gaming. yeah it breaks your heart when you finally let go of them as all your left to comfort the pain is what financial return you ended up getting, which as we all know ends up hurting more!

I wanted to dispose of it as quick as I could. Didn't really think of trying to turn a profit. :p
