I want to buy a working Sega CD add-on

KMSoulja:
I want to buy a working Sega CD add-on for my Model 1 Sega Genesis.
disc drive or lid? which would be model would be better?
Also I'll be looking for a 32x add-on in the near future.

Would somebody be willing to take a look at ebay and let me know their opinion on what would be the best for me to pick up right now?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat as you. A Sega CD add-on is at the top of my console desires right now. Unfortunately you rarely see them by themselves, and eBay seems very inconsistant with final values (anywhere from $35-80 for a working model). I think I'll end up stalking garage sales and flea markets this spring for one.

Get an X'Eye.

I have a model one genesis and sega cd but hated the fact that it required 2 power adaptors.  So I bought a cdx and would highly recommend it.
I have read that a model 2 sega cd is more reliable then a model one. I bought my model one sega cd from a thrift store for $20 and the cdx from ebay for $100. I think the x'eye is going for around 220ish.
JDavis:
The general wisdom is that the model 2 Sega CD is more reliable because it doesn't have the drawer (more moving parts = more likely to fail)

General wisdom is also that the model 1 Genesis is the model to have (for superior sound and compatibility and such)

This leaves you with a very wide Genesis and, if you care about the looks of the system itself, an extra piece to get ahold of that extends the base of the model 2 CD to the full width of the model 1 Genesis. Or you could just put a book or something under it. Whatever.
