    Please don't post pictures unless they are pictures of the actual item you are selling.

    $210 for a white Saturn, even if moddoed [wich actually decreases the value in my opinion] is WAY too much.

    This should sell in the $30 - $40 range.

    If I were you Strider, I would be worried about selling my items here. It seems Assembler is cracking down on low post and zero post sellers, and you fit into this category.

    Oh, and btw the White Saturn is FAR from rare. Who do you think you are dealing with? Some noobs from gamefaqs? You Do know this forum is dedicated to rare and obscure stuff, and as such a lot of our [serious] members have a pretty good idea what is and isn't rare, obscure, and hard-to-find. Even eva-01 knows that this isn't rare.

    Also, When selling, Give some more info, such as:
    -Estimated Postage Cost
    -Boxed?
    -General Condition
    -Manuals
    -Accessories.

    Also, For pictures, it's normally best to take a couple. In this case, I would take pictures od:
    -The system itself
    -System with all it comes with
    -Close up of the mod
    -Any dents or scratches close up.

    If you need somewhere to host the images, try www.imageshack.us . Free and Easy, It even generates the links for you.

    i just want to mention that i saw a white boxed saturn in a shop nearby for around 80$ and as alien said above, a modded console decreases the value, which is also my opinion

    plus at your deal we don't even know if it's boxed or has anything besides to be sold with...and also I know that a white saturn isn't rare, which has to mean a lot, i've seen around 4 for sale in 2 years now..whatever...give more information and try to explain your price

    Fair enough on the price from Yahho Japan, but add $40 + for EMS and you get the $60 on eBay. I bought mine from Japan five years ago for $100 shipped and it was new. I know, I know I'm special. :smt033

    Also, if you're going to sell more than one item, then keep them in the same thread. Do not create another one. Read the rules..

    Also, this, a modded console does lose its value A LOT regardless of what the system is, unless of course it is a Neo Geo AES system with uniBIOS mod, and Svideo/RGB mod.

    I disagree. Sure consoles that are rare/uncommon may lose value, but common ones with modifications that improve upon the abilities of the system (region switch, RGB mod, Bigger HDD (XBox), etc.) I see frequently selling on various sites, including ebay, at higher prices then their unmodified counterparts. I think a price increase is justified in such a situation.

    As for this particular sale: The white saturn isn't rare and as such this modification does increase its value somewhat, but not to anything even remotly close to what the seller is trying to get for it.

    Why's everyone roasting him? Maybe he's just misguided on the value or something, I don't see a single post by him saying anything against what you guys are saying....

    However, the low post thing is pretty annoying, and if he is just a douchebag, let him burn!

    He's getting roasted because of he did a piss poor post with little info, a stock photo, and a rather high price. If he read the rules it wouldn't be as bad.
