Hi all, I bought this machine around 1 month ago but have decided although I love the look I'm not a big Saturn player. It was an impulse buy because of how good it looked so on that note I'm gonna let it go again as it's sat unused since I finished modding it.

It comes fitted with a UK 240v psu so no stepdown required. The label on the back of the machine was also swapped to show it now uses a 240v psu. The machine has a modchip fitted so will pretty much play any game from any region.

The modchip allows backups to be played but doesn't make the console region free. To combat this a switchless pic chip has been fitted.

I'm sure most will be aware what the colours of the switchless mod mean but just in case

Green - pal 50hz
Orange - us 60hz
Red - Japanese 60hz

To switch between regions just hold the reset button for 5 seconds or more and release on the desired setting.

Holding the reset for 1-2 seconds will flash the led and switch just the 50/60hz setting so allows pal games to be played at 60hz once booted without resetting the console.

Tapping it for 1 second or less will reset the console as normal.

There are a couple of pal games included but no US or Japanese games (they have been tested and work fine though)

They are

Sega Rally Championship
Virtua Fighter 2
Sega Worldwide Soccer 97

No backups will be included.

Will come with 2 matching skeleton controllers, power cable & rgb scart. The battery was replaced and works fine however this will be removed when shipping as I don't want some courier deciding to stop the package due to the battery. The new owner will require a cr2032.

There is some sticker residue on the bottom of the console from the warranty sticker I had to remove to mod the machine.

There is no original box.

I am asking £100 (was £150 then £125) plus p&p

Payment by PayPal gift or plus fees please

Hi there, when packed it weighs in at 5KG.

sadly that makes delivery by courier £62.94. Royal Mail won't carry it and pass it over to a courier again but at as cost of £99.63

Have you tried p4d.co.uk for the courier? I've often found them to be quite cheap.
 
Hi mate, the courier price above is with UPS from parcel2go
just checked p4d and their cheapest offer is with parcel force at £65.68

Hi Mike, try Parcelmonkey, they have the best rates I could find to Austraila, I expect it will be about £45, their insurance is cheaper too. I used their Value service and it was delivered by FedEx.
 
Sadly not mate, this is what parcel monkey have just quoted me for a 5kg package to Australia however it didn't ask for dimensions or insurance value

Geez I guess they dropped their value service. That's a shame :(
 
I am surprised by that as they used to be quite affordable. The only other option I can think of is calling a small local freight forwarder as they may just be able to get your item on one of their pallets as its tiny and light by their standards for next to nothing.
 
ok go on then, one final drop to £100 plus p&p
if no interest by Sunday then its back to the shelf.
 
sorry withdrawing interest, looks like a great saturn too .. !
 
No worries and thanks for letting me know.

On that note i'm gonna withdraw it from sale as i've had no other interest.

Closing thread.
 
Pm received from Xanxi declaring interest. Apparently he missed the thread due to a holiday so I'm reopening the thread so he can declare official interest and we can continue.

Other can feel free to declare interest but I'm reserving for Xanxi at the moment.

Can a mod please move this out of the archive and back into the sales thread please :)

Thanks
 
@Scrappy

Done :)
 
Hi.
Thanks for reopening.
Yes i am stating interest.
I am processing with the payment right now.
Thanks.
 
Hi.

Sorry, i have received this item a long time ago but had no time to try it so far. I am overwhelmed with a massive professional burden since september.

So i am leaving now the excellent feedback that scrappysphinx deserves.

Thanks.
