Sega Saturn Pre-production Prototype Console

Some of you may aware that I have one of pre-production/prototype(?) Saturn console.
After I did big clean up I'm thinking maybe it's about time to pass it to someone who may appreciate it more than me.
Now the problem is how do I charge it for? There's no guideline of sort to determine...
Maybe some of you can shed some idea?

p.s. still it's tempting to put this one with Cross CartDev.B into the display cabinet but missus says no... the cabinet is for her Barbie platinum edition collection... ;(

 

I think that's very hard to determine because there's hardly ever one for sale. What exactly do you mean by pre-production console, one of those with a slightly different logo on top and other subtle differences? Those would be really, really rare.

 

Hmm sounds could maybe pictures could help.

 

I'm very curious about what this thing looks like!

 

Can it run burned games by default?

Wow! Thanks for the in depth knowledge on Saturn console, Druid II. ^ ^

Might be interested but I need to pay for some other dev stuff first.

 

I've run CD-Rs on my Sophia, Sonix Extreme to be exact.

No mod chip or boot disk. I've run Sonic Extreme, as well as the EWJ and Scud betas that were released here. I've also run my Duck SDK disc, which is on a Mega CD-R, on the Sophia. There is one photo left in my collection thread that shows the Duck disc running on the Sophia, the rest seem to have disappeared over the years.

 

Ah damn! I'm still very interested in this!!

All depends how much you want, and how much it'll cost to get it over here, but I'll see what I can do!

 

Yikes, a Barbie collection ousts a harmless Saturn?

Looks like you are local-ish to me - now that's something that doesn't happen every day on here!
I'd be happy to drop some hard cash down on this one... that is of course if you can't build a hidden cave under the cabinet in time...
The stair construction would probably be the most time consuming part, maybe a temporary ladder would suffice! :wink-new:

Hahaha, well just let us know when you are keen to sell and what sort of dollar value you are after.
More than happy to lay a bit down for this to help Druid with this massive task he is undertaking.
And if it gives me a chance to poke around inside a rare Saturn that is always a bonus

Edit: That reminds me, Druid II did you notice those new Aiwa Mega-CD Game Unit photos in your FTP?

Whats this secret ftp?

That and Google restricts uploaded images to 2048 on the longest edge unless I want to pay for storage... pffft... storage fees! The originals have a bit of weight to them at 3456 x 2304 and allow for a good zooming provided the lighting conditions were decent at the time and I didn't move the camera too much. I look forward to seeing the end result of all this image and data collecting. It's not a race, geez, I've got no real content except the pictures on my site anyway. There just isn't enough time in the day, ever!
