Sega Saturn games and misc stuff
 
I am looking for sega saturn stuff. Does anyone have anything they could part with?

I have a system w/ controller and a couple common games. I have a bunch of other game stuff I want to get rid of though. Various systems/games. Rpgs and others.

I fully understand that Saturn collectors tend to prefer CIB copies, but I'd still probably want $10 plus shipping for it (online pricing tends to vary for that particular game).

However, you might be more interested in my complete Winning Post game. It's one of the rarer US titles. I'd probably want at least $30 for it. And I'd want to pack it in a box to protect the plastic casing.

I am no saturn collector, I Have had a system for like 8 years and still only have virtua fighters and scrub (?) yeah I just want something to play.

Heh, I understand! I've yet to see the appeal of it, but it does have its niche fanbase.

Do you know why Saturn games are all 15+ plus unless its a sport game. I know there was not a high demand but damn some peeps are crazy.

I think you've probably answered your own question. The Saturn wasn't a total bust in the US (at least not until 1998 ), but retailers never afforded its game library the same weight that they gave the N64 and Playstation software (for obvious reasons). Thus, Saturn games are considerably rarer to find in the resale market. Very few used game stores will even bother to buy old Saturn stuff. It has very much become a niche market for hard-core collectors and old-skool gamers/Sega-fans.

Complete Saturn games with case and manual are also harder to find than Playstation or Dreamcast since Sega of America went the Sega CD route and sold them in those super large and fragile plastic cases. They break easy and they hog up space on most shelves. Thus, many original owners either broke or discarded their plastic cases and manuals for convenience. That ended up trickling down to the resell market, making CIB copies much more desirable among collectors.

As far as the Sports Game thing goes... that's just standard fare for all video game consoles. EA Sports were always big yearly sellers on just about every console, but once the newest edition comes out, there simply isn't much interest in outdated editions. Retro Sports Games can still but fun, but nobody wants to pay much for them.

either of you looking for other retro gaming stuff? I'm about to make a list of stuff for trade/sell on Neo Geo, another forum that I am part of. I have tons of stuff for lots of consoles and handhelds, lots of rpg's if thats your thing. Looking for TMNT stuff, or funds for TMNT stuff ^_^
