Oooh a man with taste!

It's Yukawa Senmu who was managing director I think.

He appears in Shenmue I think, as one of the toy capsules you can win in the raffle

Yep, DC stuff is going through the roof at the moment. Saturn stuff is dropping too, which would suggest Sega fans are moving on a generation when it comes to retro collecting!

Such as what? I haven't been paying much attention. I may sell large swathes of my collection if this is actually the case.

@ danholo. Thats a 'President' edition DC. All early jp Dreamcast feature the same image (i belive the gentleman is the then President of Sega Japan) its was tied into the Japanese launch marketing campain which featured the Sega head honcho semi-seriously apoligising for Segas 'mistakes' with the mega cd, 32x, Saturn etc and 'begging' people to trust Sega and buy a DC! Such was the sorry state of Sega back then

There is actually 2 early versions that came out that i know of.

The other one has a picture of people high up in sega all eating Dinner at a dinner table.

I had a choice of both when i bought mine but i went for the "president" photo. It looks quite cool as if hes unaware that hes just got snapped on camera. The dinner bash one looked good to though.-- hard choice

The only titles I've noticed that seem to be holding any value is a few shooters Ikaruga, Zero Gunner 2, Mars Matrix, Trizeal's getting pretty pricey as well now, most 2D fighters that I paid ?20+ for a few years ago only seem to be fetching ?10-?15 now though

I believe there is one with multiple pics of the same fella on the box - actually I know as my local Recycle shop has that one for sale.

D.C games tend to be more expensive, in general, here in Japan than over in the U.K at the mo. Even the bog standard games are getting pretty pricy. I've noticed a massive leap in Ikarua's value - I bought mine for £13 brand new sealed a few years ago, and my local import store had sealed copies for £28 - now it seems you'd be lucky to get a sealed copy for udner £50.

Basically from a few years ago most games prices seem to have increased by around 25% or more it seems.

The console it self seems to be getting rarer too, although like someone said it's bound to be a phase, but not one i wanna risk.:P

Probably due to　Retro shops decreasing　their DC shelf space to make way for 'new' retro like GC, Xbox etc.

[Pilotwings]

Yes i just had a look there and its the multiple pics version that i have.
-funny pics like him pretending to smoke and a screaming one and loads more

It still has them same "president" pictures on the side of the box though.

It seems to be the shooters mainly. Ikrauga, Mars Matrix, Border Down, Zero Gunner 2, Gigawing 2...they've been creeping up in value over the past year or so.

I'm gutted cos I sold stuff like Gigawing 2 for peanuts a while back.

[chaoticjelly]

I have a sealed Trizeal, does that mean it's appreciated in value?

Gigawing 2 probably my favourite shooter on the Dreamcast, managed to get a complete one for £14 off ebay a few months back after trying for ages to get one at a decent price, didn't even seem as though anyone was interested in bidding on it either as there was only one other bid.

One went for about £50 a few weeks ago on ebay if I remember correctly, wasn't even the Sega Direct one either

[Hairydavey]

Just won this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200126889372

Wanted a Multimega ever since I was a kid, I can even remember how the poster advertising it in the shops looked like. Chuffed to bits, although I don't know if I paid through the nose or not for it.

[Baseley09]

I sold a complete but minus any hardware box for Multimega for £50 on ebay once if thats anything to go by.

Trade in value at GS for one of them is £70 on it's own for an indication and thats without games sooo if you don't like which I'm sure you wont be take it there and get your money back lol

[Hairydavey]

Cool! More than I thought! Can't believe someone paid £50 just for the box, although there is only one boxed complete Multimega on eBay at the moment, and it's going for around the £255 mark! (Im guessing that although they are rare complete, this guy must be having a laugh?).

I've not used eBay long and ended up in a bidding war with someone, got the last bid in with 7 seconds to go!

Can't wait for it to turn up
