I'd really like to get all my consoles back after selling them years ago. Where's the best place to start looking? More importantly would be after a Master System and a Mega Drive and Game Gear (yes, I was a Sega saddo!), but there were others I had as well, like a NES and SNES.

Try Gamestation etc. See old N64 Mega drives in there all the time smile

Some aren't boxed but that makes them cheaper thumbup

Have to say, I'd like them boxed, but in reality it would probably push the price up too much. I may slowly build up on eBay...

I have a Game Gear at home and a boxed Mega Drive 2, although I'm not sure I want to get rid of the Mega Drive just yet. Oh and also a SNES. I think I got them all from eBay, I'd be willing to part with the Game Gear if you are keen?

imo, stay away from ebay if you want a bargain..

boot sales are the place to grab a good deal. most traders buy at boot sales and sell on ebay at a vast mark up.

I've absolutely no idea! I'm just in one of those funny moods where I want all my old stuff back. I'll probably never play them! My Game Gear I actually threw out because it died frown

Drop me a PM, we aren't allowed to trade on the forums. I'll have a look at it tonight and we can work out a price. It will be cheap as it's not doing much at home at the moment!
