I found a guy selling one locally, listed as "Dreamcast, still in the box, barely played it" that was it, no pictures and it was cheap. Here's what I ended up with, all in MINT condition, looks like it was never played. Dreamcast in the box, 6 games and an extra new controller still in the box. He said he played it a handful of times when it 1st came out, but then he boxed it up when he moved and just forgot about it.
Now I'm on a mad hunt for games, I need suggestions!
I'm jealous, I'm still in the market for a mint boxed PAL Dreamcast, not that easy to find sadly
But looks like you got a great deal

I feel like it was a great deal, considering that the local "retro" game store nearby is selling a USED one in the box for a ridiculous $200

Ouch! $200 for a regular Dreamcast is absurd. If it's one of those Limited Edition DC's it could be a reasonable price.
@ RavenholmDX / astroZombie: Both great finds. Love the mint CIB Dreamcast you've found.

Just brought a black BBA off from ebay. Hopefully later this summer, I will purchase a Sega Sports Dreamcast to complement it.

Yeah they pretty rare and came out only in Japan. I need to buy Quake 3 Arena soon, but I have both Phantasy Star Online and was planning on using it for home-brewing. I will ask for help with setting up the connection once I receive the BBA next week. I want to thank this forum for convincing me to use ebay.
