It's well worth your time, the console and an action replay shouldn't run you much more than 75 bucks. While alot of the really good games command a high price, many of them do not, and even with the prices, you don't see the crazy price fluctuations like on other consoles people collect for.
I'm definitely meaning to, but Saturn consoles just aren't plentiful up here in Canada from what I can tell. I didn't even hear about them as a kid, never saw a commercial or anything.
I've only seen one listed on Kijiji near me in the past year and a half and the seller wants $80 for the console plus some other crazy amount for the Action Reply carts. I think it was $160 for the bundle with a few junk games.
I think this is one I'm just going to have to skip or wait until I get lucky.
