They have over 2k positive ratings on E-gay. Anyone see a problem with them? They are verified with paypal as a business.

These are actually quite the pain to find now that they are so cheap and there is a limited suply. When they were selling for $49 in local retail stores they were gone within hours. I ended up getting one for $59 a week ago at EBs website.

It says $80 + $12 shipping = $92 for the Dreamcast? Did they raise the price or what?

I don't think these are brand new dreamcasts. They have some selling for $80 and some for $45. If I was selling a brand new dreamcast I would word it differently than new condition. Need some kind of confirmation when someone gets one. I can buy a used one for $39 at gamestop here in town.:D

nothing left in amazon anymore..

Now you folks have me worried.. where is this link on http://www.twogirlstrading.com/ that says they have one for sale at $80??

I think its brand new cause their ebay auction says so too.. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1308425364

Anyways, i've just gone nuts buying dreamcast hardware and games for this console.. bought a rumble controller ($12), vga box ($12), and s-video cable ($6.50), along with Tennis 2k2 (New! - $37 shipped) and Ecco (New! - $14).

Damn the games cost the price of the console now!!

You can't link to the $80 one directly because no matter what page you are on the address is the same. Just look under whats new for the $80 one. If the $45 turns out to be a new one I'll order one. I'm only questioning it because of the differences in price and the wording. I hope it is new along with everybody else. Just confirm and I'm there.

The Best Buy around my house had stacks and stacks of these for $49.95. Must of have about 30 or so units. Probably had 15 or so of the sports ones too.

Great deal!

You must be talking about the new Best Buy up on Atherton Street. It's funny because when the N64 came out in Oct 1996, I walked into the Electronics Boutique in the Nittany Mall and bought one right off the shelf. No pre-order, no waiting list. I guess State College is one of those places that has stuff in stock all the time. No such luck near a metropolitan area.

But the what's new section specifically says:
In Box, New Condition
$45.00 +10.00 Shipping

I picked up one last week at Best Buy for 50 bucks. They sold out in a few days.
The Dreamcast for 50 bucks is a great deal. Remember, you can't read your backups if it was manufactured after October 2000. Mine is a June 2000 model. I heard Sega had a bunch just sitting in their warehouses.

I don't think this one is brand new. If you look at their ebay page that's selling the Dreamcast for $45, it says 'In box Like New Condition'. They might have left out the 'Like' in their store page. Better check with them first.

I just called them at 321-207-0881.

They say its the new ones in their boxes and packaging. Their company basically buys electronics from dept stores going on clearance or liquidation, and that explains the dreamcasts.

I'm tempted to get one through them. I wonder if they'll verify the date the DC was manufactured. Anyone receive theirs yet?
