mrwhitethc #1 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I'm looking for some broken consoles for a project I'm doing for display purposes. I already have a Pong machine, 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis Model 1 & Dreamcast they don't need to work but I would like them to at least look ok, not smashed with a hammer. I've been seeing crazy prices on eBay like $40 for a busted saturn, $60 for an untested Jaguar and was wondering if these are really worth that much broken. I'm interested in any consoles not listed but would be most interested in Jaguar, NeoGeo, Atari 5200 & 7800, Sega Master System & Sega 32x. Thanks for looking. Thanks to everyone who has helped out! Edited my list as I was able to get a few things out of the way. Edited March 19, 2011 by mrwhitethc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Dart #2 Posted March 10, 2011 Huh, locally I can get most busted systems for $10 each. I can give you a mostly-working (CCFL's dead) PSone LCD for the cost of shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply Rex Dart, I wish I could find stuff for $10. Unfortunately I can't seem to find that here in West Palm Beach, FL. Everywhere I look it's all XBOX and up for prices above ebay, or if it is something older it looks like someone took a hammer to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+bennybingo #11 Posted March 11, 2011 Just saw this while browsing eBay: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250783096234 Shipping seemed a bit high, but the entry bid is low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrwhitethc #12 Posted March 11, 2011 I got a dead snes JR if you need that I do appreciate the offer and I may PM you later, but right now I'm going to hold off on the alternate versions. I need to see how much room this is going to take with the original consoles and with an occasional Japan variant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the heads up bennybingo, like I replied to orbitmint4, I think I'm going to hold off on the alternate versions, I do have a 2600 heavy sixer ready for this project.
