eBay

 I got a gold one for a VERY scuffed up light blue. Came with little nintendo oval sticker and all the screws, bumpers .  Not sure if that particular seller is still there but I think I paid no more than $6 shipped from Hong Kong

I don't like Ebay, but a website called Gaming Generations sells replacement shells. Has anyone had experience with them?

First, a great bit of news that I'd like to share:

Talked to my grandmother, and the doctor told her that she does not have cancer! This was a true Christmas gift, as we were thinking back in Thanksgiving that she might not have much longer, and that these might have been some of her last holidays with us. Now, she'll undergo very minor surgery, and remove what was giving the false alarm, and move on with her life. So awesome!

Okay, pickups!

I went to a Salvation Army while I was visiting in Michigan, and my fiance finds a Sega Dreamcast Carrying Case! Of course, I snatch it, and open it up, and ask if I could test it. The worker takes me to the backroom, and I see a tub of just cables and controllers. I ask the guy if I can rummage through, and he said it was ok. I find an N64 controller, and Nintendo Composite cable. We test the Dreamcast, and the guy was cool enough to just throw in the composite cable in the bag and didn't price it! Also didn't know there was a student discount at the Salvation Army, so bring your Student ID with you!

So here's what I got all for $17 and some change! My cocker spaniel, Brock, is in the corner, helping out by chewing on his toy...
- Dreamcast system with all hookups, two OEM controllers, OEM Memory Card, OEM Carrying Case. Oh, and Armada in the cd bay!
- OEM Yellow Nintendo 64 Controller. One more, then I have 4!
- OEM Nintendo Composite Cable. These are getting hard to find for whatever reason...


Bag was DIRTY, threw it in the washer set it on Delicates/Hand Wash, voila!


The Dreamcast, a very photogenic console! It's an earlier revision model, so I can...um...do whatever a tech savvy person with a cd burner would do... ::)

Careful about doing that....such actions can wreck the Dreamcast's laser.
