Found a Dreamcast at an antique store that comes with 3 controllers and memory card for $340. Is it a scam at that price? I kinda want it for Maken X or some other games.

Nope, United States. I have a feeling the boomers who put a price on it thought its more valuable than it really is

a dreamcast is 80 dollars at most

At the risk of being rude you can ask them why they valued it at 340.00. I hope for everyone sake they are just ignorant to it and made some kind of mistake. Even in another 5 or 10 years with Covid inflation and everything else I can’t see a situation where that’s worth that much money.

It's already sold by now, for sure. That's too good of a deal to hesitate on, OP.
You're in luck though. I'm willing to sell you my lovingly yellowed Dreamcast with two matching controllers, a VMU cap, RF cable, aftermarket power cable and a moderately used copy of Sonic Shuffle ("Not For Resale" edition!!! R@RE) for the generous price of 500 US dollars.

Jesus christ I was glad to get mine for thirty five dollars. You shouldn't pay any more than between $100-$130 for one.

get the gundam game where you pilot one of the regular mechs
that game was pretty sick

Powerstone 2 is a good party game

Soul Calibur was fantastic- my autistic friend and I would spend hours playing lizardman vs the guy with the giant sword

Seriously though, OP— the Dreamcast wasn’t worth that much back during release, let alone now. No idea what the fools running that store are thinking.

Are the controllers third party, the console power button barely working, the battery 10 years dead, fan spins half speed, has "refurbished" written on it, and is a VA2???? For $500.

Sounds more like them cucks.

??? Your ignorance is ignorant. Ebay protects sellers more than anything and it isn't hard (maybe for you?) to avoid obvious scams (which barely are there).

I remember I really wanted the S.T.A.R.S. blue or Code Veronica red Dreamcast back then, but I already had the regular system and for me it was too expensive at $300USD. The Hello Kitty blue and Hello Kitty pink Dreamcast systems at least had similar colored keyboards and the price was equally priced. I was hoping by now the price of those systems would have become affordable around $50USD but that has not happened and I could only stare at them in Hard Off stores.

The Dreamcast is literally a piece of shit with only arcade ports and launch titles

You have way more risk buying from a brick and mortar store compared to ebay. Ebay has many layers of buyer protection. You buy from fuckhead's local game store you got nothing other than his word if it doesn't work.

No way dude, there's someone selling one near me for 250 with 30 games, 2 memory cards, 2 controllers and a light gun... and I thought it was too much.

It saddens me to say but Maken X kinda sucks, even Maken Shao is better.
