Sega's SG-1000 in a lovely box

Sega SG-1000Ion Myke, a true Retro Treasures regular, has discovered an expensive little something for the SEGA fans among you. It's this very complete, very working and possibly overpriced SEGA SG-1000 console in its very lovely box. The seller is based in Japan and is willing to sell worldwide. As for the console, well, it's a beauty in what seems like a very good condition. And if you're still wondering what a SG-1000 is all about, click here.

  1. So tempting - complete and apparently great condition. But $300? Ouch. If it were half that I'd be tempted to go for it. Then again, my wife just asked me yesterday if I had my eye on anything for Christmas...

  2. ... and I did just see on TV yesterday that the original Starship Enterprise model from the Next Generation auctioned off for $576,000 so this isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to that. Talking myself into it?

  3. Yes you are, but that really is understandable. After all, it's not as if you are asking for an original Star Trek model or anything. Also, might I suggest you think about the original Spectrum 128?

  4. Well my only concern about getting UK systems is whether they will work with US electricity and NTSC TVs. I don't know much about it, but I always assumed I would need some sort of power inverter and maybe some analogous interface device for PAL->NTSC. Not sure.

  5. As far as I know you are right. You will either need a PAL TV or a PAL-NTSC converter. Power supply should be rather simple as there are inverters/PSUs that let you select Voltage.

  6. An almost decently wholesome price.
