Yeah but it stands to reason that he was somewhat interested to know around market value based on the way he phrased his post. I'm not trying to invalidate your opinion by any means. If a Dreamcast is worth $10 to you than that's what it is worth to you. For the same reason there are plenty of older games I won't have, they go for more than I am willing to pay. It's just not necessarily a realistic expectation for him, which is what he was asking for. Though he is in the UK, so I really can't speak to UK pricing. It takes more effort than walking into a store to get one for $10, and maybe it would take months to do so tbh. Maybe he doesn't have the patience for that, which I assume is one of the main driving points for anyone paying market value for video game items. I added that light sarcasm on account of $10 being pretty low. That was the point which I am sure you understood, of course anyone would want something 1/3 of the going rate. $35 or so really is hardly any money at all these days, though it does depend on your financial situation of course.
No double posting please.

Deleting posts can be done with the full editor or clicking the delete button and then selecting the 'delete message' button/option. You shouldn't need a reason for deleting (I didn't).
Which is why it looks like you double posted again in spite of not doing it.
Ah, I see. Well, given the fact that I bought one at system launch for the full retail price, and shortly thereafter had a dead console on my hands, I kinda feel like Sega actually owes me ten dollars.
To everyone else in the thread, apologies for my less than cordial behavior. I promise I am really NOT a troublemaker.

Dreamcasts definitely break easily (relative to other consoles in the same gen), which is something to keep in mind. I've had one Dreamcast die on my over the years. The other Sega system that broke was my Gamegear which was no surprise given the poor caps they used.
Edit: Actually I just remembered I bought a Silver slim PS2 brand new (from Target iirc) and the laser went dead in under 6 months.
I believe those were the only ones, so not too bad considering how many consoles I have had over the years.

My first original Xbox console stopped working within warranty and I got it exchanged for a newer version. Besides that I've never had any huge issues, although I do have a Japanese PSX with a dead laser atm (it served me well for many years) and one PS2 fat with a dead laser. Both those Sony consoles are chipped but I have working spares of both.
Chill dude, you only seem to be attracting troublemakers
