Thinking of buying a Jaguar, question.

[titus]

Hi!

 

Around where I live I had heard from people about a small hole-in-the-wall game store out in the middle of no-mans-land, that sells older and hard to fine video games. This past weekend I went to it and got some pretty good deals (Dreamcast games $1.99 each, Panzer Dragoon Saga $14.99, a few PS2 games $4.99).

 

They had a very small Jaguar section. Now I don't know much about the system itself, only from what I had played at a friends house back in 2000 (I think). The Jaguar system was going for $24.99 (with everything to get started), and they were also selling the Jaguar CD for $74.99. Is this a good price for a used Jaguar & Jaguar CD system? Games I don't have a problem with, I looked on under the Jaguar v. guide on the site, and most of the games that looked good getting were price at the shop from $1.99 to $9.99, and just about all of them were complete.

 

Thanks!

That sounds like a good price for the combo. Just make sure it works properly. Jag CD drives aren't the most reliable.

Panzer Dragoon Saga $14.99 !!!!????

Well, speaking from personal eBay experience, my JagCD cost me $120 plus shipping, although it came with 4 games and the box( ). My Jaguar base unit cost $60 from a local game shop in another no-man's-land kinda town. So, i'd say that's a pretty good deal, man.

If they have Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn (not DC) at $14.99, GRAB that sucker as fast as you can and put it on eBay. Once you sell, you'll not only pay for the Jag & Jag CD but have quite a few $$$ left over for Jag games.

That's a very fair price if, like Steve said, everything works. Take a look at some of the auctions (both ongoing and completed) on eBay for a feel of how much the Jag systems and games usually sell for.

 

I can recommend buying the Jag system. Has some EXCELLENT quality titles.

Those are fair prices if the consoles are complete, and I mean that they include the boxes. If that JagCD is loose, it's not really worth $75 IMO...just make sure that you get the power AC that comes with the CD unit! Also make sure everything works before you take it out of there.

when testing the CD.. demand to see a game boot in it.. just seeing the fireworks on the screen isn't a good test of the unit.
