How much do Sega CD Model 1s go for now a days?

just wondering, they can't be found on ebay or amazon so i'm guessing 100$+

One that seriously works correct perhaps. Most model 1s never had the extra maintenance they take.

For regular users it's more cost effective to get an easier to fix if needed model 2 set with console and bunch of games.

Define "seriously works correct".

I got my model 1 for 60 USD in working condition. But it didn't come with any of the cords or RF shields.

I'd always figured they were worth about $50-60 in working condition before shipping. Shipping those things is not cheap though since they're so big, I don't know if they'll fit in a priority box though.

Probably closer to $100 with all the hookups and in full working order.

Hang on to it if it works for another 10 years. I bet they will cost of fortune by then for a working model 1. I have an untested model 1 I bought for $1 from the local video game store that just went out of business. They said there was something wrong with it. I'm just trying to track down all the cords so I can figure it out.

Why do you want a Model 1 SCD anyways? Model 2 is obviously a better choice.

for aesthetic purposes pretty much,

a model 1 Gen with a model 2 cd does not look good imo

I know I want one so I can use it to test my Sega CD development :)

I need a model 1 too.

General working order. Nothing like a stuck tray, weak laser, all that.

Yes, the trays will still be relatively simple to fix in the future, replacing the lasers will become a bigger problem though.

Maybe i should pick up a spare laser just in case?

Saying the model 2 sega cd is better is debatable. It is all what you are looking at. I've read in other forum posts that the model 1 has a better sound board. I've never heard that the laser is weaker, but that might be true. As far as looks goes, i would much rather have a model 1. I owned a model 2 and just picked up that model 1. I hated how long the model 2 was and that was with a model 2 genesis attached.

I paid $80 + shipping for my sega cd 1. In good working order and cosmetic shape, with both metal plates and a power adaptor. That was about a year ago.
