Is your SEGA Genesis Worth $2,000? | RGT 85

The SEGA Genesis is an awesome console, but did you know it could be worth $2,000!?!? I sure didn't know, but thanks to the folks at Definition.org, they were kind enough to let us know that our Genesis is worth TONS OF MONEY!

[@RGT85]

This is why I hate people. 2K? TWO GRAND?!

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

RGT 85 I have the Sega cd side by side. It's fun.

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

Including the original with the head phone jack.

[@frankayers6924]

RGT, you wanna buy my Sega bro? It's super rare. I saw it in the basement and was about to toss it out but figured I'd hit the net with it. Found this article so its legit. lol

[@ViolinistProductions]

Is it a brand new sealed Sega Genesis Bundle from Day 1 in Dimension C137?

[@timdrake2020]

I sell anyone my CDX for 2k.. or my genesis 3 for that matter. Lol

[@EPS5000]

My Genesis is priceless, because I’d never sell it.

[@amyhoard1222]

Mine too, too many great memories :p

[@xWindreaderx]

By this guy's logic, the Nomad must be worth $20,000.

[@valkyriesprites420gtx3]

And he thinks the game boy aka the brick that breaks the floor is 56mill

[@ericemme747]

By their logic a Nomad @ $20k is a STEAL!!!!!!

[@ongakuwotabeta]

eRock _ Try the Neptune. It might be worth 2 BILLION dollars according to that guy.

[@lennywright5655]

I could get NASA to fly me to Saturn for less than what this guy probably thinks a SEGA Saturn is worth.

[@thoughtprocessRI]

I bought one for $10k. Great deal :D

[@tonymcnamee2741]

I was at a car boot sale (kind of like a yard sale but everyone brings their stuff in their cars to one place) the UK a year or so ago and I saw a boxed original Gameboy. I had £30 on me and I asked how much the old lady wanted for it. She said £75. I said that was way too much and she said "The box alone is worth more than that on eBay!" I told her that it was not and we were not on eBay. she was not happy.

[@deadgametech6624]

That car boot sale sounds fun. I usually walk away from retarded sellers but sometimes I take it personal and pull out my smartphone to show them on the spot what it sells for. They don't like that either.

[@samfrito]

Tony McNamee the problem with her is she must have dreamed she would get the original price, but never played one in the current day.

[@retrotaco6668]

Lol a guy at a garage sale last summer told me "Mario/duck hunt is worth over $100 on eBay"

[@richardgaston1302]

Don't forget to tell people like that, that ebay takes 10% of whatever you sell it for including 10% of what you charged the buyer for shipping. Also, it's possible for a buyer to back out after the auction ends on ebay or could possibly return it to you because they claim it wasn't as described (even if you have listed as no returns). Remind them you have the cash now and ready to finalize a sale. If they want to possibly make a little more on ebay, then they can go through the inconvenience. You can also tell them "well I intend to take it how and play it, not try to resell it on ebay."

[@bangerbangerbro]

Lol. People these days. I'm sure that's the more than they used to cost brand new. Also, i'm sure most people know what a carboot sale is.

[@Madlittlepixel]

I just sold my Master System for $5,000. Its older then the Sega Genesis, so I figured has to be worth more than double the Genesis!

[@marlonbrans3567]

Sup pixel love ur channel

[@GullySyde28]

That was me :P

[@BolofromAvlis]

I love your channel and your style and sense of humor. it's criminal that your channel isn't bigger than it is.

[@JohnRiggs]

Thank you for finally including red circles in your thumbnails. Now maybe you'll get those subscribers you deserve. :)

[@MikeandKatieShow]

John Riggs: RIGG'd Games burn. Lol

[@rolldeep23]

Not to forget the arrow man!!!

[@BriansManCave]

So are you saying I need to include red circles in my thumbs too? Interesting :)

[@inputfunny]

Hey John. I can't comment on your videos or livestreams anymore; I think maybe you banned me from your channel. I was just offering some constructive criticism and didn't mean to offend you if I did.

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

John Riggs: RIGG'd Games I've been asked to change my thumbnails but where is the option to do so? Its not on the uploading options unless I'm missing it. Any help would b appreciated :)

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

There's a Goodwill by me trying to sell Super Mario Bros. for $50 and Super Mario Bros. 2 for $50...what a joke.

[@Kapi.23]

more like GoodLuck amirite?

[@justinwisham3971]

They should only selling that at goodwill for $10 goodwill cheats people

[@HistoricNerd]

Launch day Genesis factory sealed in plastic? Even then I doubt 2k for that one.

[@SupraViperhead]

There were 2 Genesis last month that sold for quite a bit. One (NIB and came packed with Altered Beast) sold for $2,076.00, and the other (NIB and came packed with Sonic) sold for $1,902.00. As for why they sold for so much? According to the description: "This item is from the private collection of a gentleman who worked in the toy industry for more than 20 years. It was never displayed or sold in a store and has been in storage for many years. Please check out my other listings for additional vintage toys, as I will be liquidating the collection over the next several weeks." Apparently, there's a market for that.

[@pigs18]

Two of them in September sold on eBay for just that much. I wager that's the source of the claim.

[@HistoricNerd]

SupraViperhead Wow.......some collectors, more money than they know what to do with....just seems like a waste to me.

[@HistoricNerd]

pigs18 Honestly it breaks my brain I couldn't justify that kind of a purchase. Some collectors just have to have mint @.@

[@jus10four20]

All for nostalgia.if i had the cash to spare,id buy one for that price (factory sealed).id take that L.i collect comics but read digital to keep my issues in top mint condition

[@lightshadow121]

Wow man I just saw your first video, strong at 5k views and I just wanna to congratulate you on your work ethic. You've inspired me to actually start my channel. Just two years later and you're only growing stronger at 57k subs. If you want to do something guys, just do it and keep with it. If you do go full time I'm sure your videos/content will only get better. Mad respect man

[@JuanGarcia-vh7zo]

I seen this article too. A friend told me about it after she seen all the systems I have. I checked it out and couldn't help but laugh.

[@gokuskywalker2442]

I loved the punch... Congrats and keep it up with the great work!

[@PixleyLore]

I bought two sega genesis model 1s for 15 bucks at retro world expo lol

[@flyingninja1234]

Death Mountaineers - That's a great find.

[@nanna8569]

THANK YOU so much! I am a single grandmother just living check to check raising my grandchild. And I saw this article and went to my storage unit to dig out my old Sega Genesis in a hundred degree weather lol. I am so glad I saw this before I posted this for sale anywhere and humiliated myself

[@raboija]

You still got that box in great condition damn

[@pnwfool6043]

Your rants are so awesome

[@TopNotchCock]

Found a genesis in my garage recently and eBay has been deceiving... thanks for making this video and getting right to the point!

[@nicksavage6203]

Dude your freak outs are awesome!

[@SuperBuu85]

Hey! I got my original Sega Genesis the same Christmas as you, same version with Sonic 2 packed in too, though I still got mine, been playing a new game or new to me anyway on it lately called Sorcerer's Kingdom it's an RPG and it's pretty fun.

[@hahahero]

Same christmas for me too! All I asked for was Sonic 2 for the Game Gear (we were pretty poor then) and my parents surprised me with the same box. Most magical xmas morning of my childhood.

[@imabot4310]

BUT Does Genisis Still Do What Nintendon't?

[@alomonwo]

I'm A Bot luv it, Play it Loud!

[@DeVstatrOmga]

I'm A Bot Yes, always did.

[@jaym5118]

They never did.

[@rolldeep23]

Nintendo don't do what nintendo used to do!! They 3rd they used to be first!!!

[@thedude7567]

Retro Stuff! Nintendo has 3rd party support now.

[@spartanhill]

I still have my old saga genius with a saga CD still attached, and a "32X" attachment with some sealed games. How much do you think that might run for?

[@Playan.]

Who disliked this? Rassey? Is that you?

[@haich_9085]

My sega mega drive is pretty much worthless, all I have is tetris. That's a pretty common game tbh.

[@codywilt6158]

Harry Fearns ya i have some crappy spaceship game called musha

[@haich_9085]

Burn it and make mark cry

[@WalterWhite-co7or]

+Cody Wilt I'll buy

[@codywilt6158]

Walter White you know you can have it

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

I have 3 Genesis Model 1s. Not even worth putting on Ebay for the little amount I'd get.

[@Mayoriot]

I was at retro con last year( same venue as too many games) and I got 2 model 2s and one had a Sega CD attached. 3 controllers and all cables. 60 bucks.

[@gametourny4ever627]

Nicely Put! I am a tad curious though RGT85... I have a model 1 High Def Graphics Genesis, A Boxed 32X with everything including RF shields, A Boxed Model 1 Sega Cd that works and is complete as well with RF shields. I habe the tower complete and together and to top the Sunday, I have the HD Retrovision cable coming out of the 32X for Display with some badass audio out cabkes coming from the Sega Cd for audio. I have two of the Sega 6 button controllers and one of the OG red and black 3 button Genesis controllers. I would be curious to know what that Sega setup is worth. 😁

[@saulpatino988]

when I watch your videos all I stare at are your saturn games

[@Nesmaniac]

Loved my sega genesis that I got for Christmas of 91 with sonic packed in. I loved my NES and am surprised I wanted a genesis over a snes but the speed of sonic just mesmerized me & I had seen what the genesis was capable of a year or 2 before I got mine & was blown away. Storage Wars hyped the NES values up over night a few year back but I can't complain since I have about 100 of them but it sure made buying anymore for a deal pretty much impossible. Clone consoles are helping I think bring the prices back to reasonable amounts.

[@bobzegler]

That was a great phone punch

[@Jerrxx1128]

RGT85 love your channel bro!!! Your background sounds a lot like mine! Wanted to see if I could request a upcoming episode theme? I just got into retro gaming God I feel old our systems are considered retro now!! But was wondering if you could do a episode for beginners lol? Like I just got my NES in box w/ OG blaster (gray) but I have been going to eBay to look for games and it’s Like WOW Ducktails is 25.00 TMNT 35.00? It would be great to have a episode for beginners that have not been in this world since they were a kid in the 90s oh the 90s how I wish I could go back!! Thanks! Ps the only reason I am going to eBay is because in my area there is a retro gaming store that has people going out to flee markets, garage sales etc then turns around and sells them for huge inflation. It kinda sucks lol!

[@bviptech]

I am curious while i was visiting the states last week I went to a games store in NYC They had a sealed in plastic NEES for 999 USD. Would you say that would be a crazy price to ask? They did seem slightly overpriced being in the middle of he city but just curious. P.s I didnt buy it as A dont have a spare grand and I would then need a step-down transformer for it if I was dumb enough to open it.

[@willy7369]

Damn, Shawn I better get the 7 Sega Genisis Model 2 that I have in a tote and Ca$h in on this Hype. Great video and Hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday

[@Grooveraider]

I felt the same way with Stadium Events going for tens of thousands of dollars. Gaming enthusiasts ASSUMED there was only a few copies in existence before Nintendo bought the rights to the Family Fun Fitness set by Bandai. Shortly afterward, a guy by the name Tim Atwood unveiled he had several sealed copies of Stadium Events proving it wasn't as rare as what opportunists thought it was.

[@mediaglitch]

I was wondering why my subs started going up again. This video is why. Thanks for the shout out. GREAT R rolling by the way. I felt the same way you did when I came across this article.

[@jasonlease1645]

I got my Genesis for X-mass back in '93 too. But I got the model 1 with Sonic 1 and a mail-in offer for a free copy of Sonic 2.

[@Azreale]

I miss my Genesis! My dad bought ours for Christmas as well! 1 of the greatest systems of all time! I had the original! I got the Sega CD & 32X to attached to it!

[@7676tbrown]

I got mine same date as you did RG Christmas 93.....mine was a model one and I had to mail in to get my free sonic 2. I got the sonic one pack in!

[@adultmoshifan87]

On a positive note, I did in September see Bio Motor Unitron for £28 loose in a store that’s a train ride away from where I live. Went back last week and found the game was not only still there, but it had been marked down to £20! I bought it and used the £8 I saved to get Angry Birds Trilogy for 3DS off ebay, allowing me to delete the iOS Angry Birds games off my iPhone!

[@mattogtripleog4585]

RGT85 & Smash JT have been going Rage Monster.....I like it!

[@shazzee66]

I just came across my Genesis 2 and games. How much do you think I can get for it? I also have a joystick console for it

[@BrianTBooher]

I bought a Version 2 Sega Genesis from a local used game store for $20 two years ago. I bought a Version 1 Genesis for $40 back in June. I like the version 1 because of the headphone jack that allows the sound to play in 2.1 stereo whereas version 2 only does 2.0. The subwoofer sound helps a lot.

[@Nerdstrategy]

I think i saw that one too. i see a couple of those a week and i just laugh at em. the only way i could see it being worth that much is if it is safely hdmi modded and covered in 24k gold with silver logo and a ruby reset button and power switch, that comes with a platinum engraved box.

[@DanielFriedman]

No. My Genesis is special. It's worth double that.

[@oopsimdead2578]

I liked when you went all Howard Dean on your phone

[@NerdRageAgainsttheMachine]

For so many of these entries, there is a chance (sure a good condition version of some versions of monopoly are high value, but not the typical copies)

[@bryanyurcan4363]

Lol, I saw that article and couldn't believe the ridiculousness of its claim; I'm very glad you made this video to let people know who may get fooled. I just picked up a Genesis TODAY for 40 bucks to relive my youth, and that was from an actual local store, I'm sure if you go on ebay and buy it from someone directly it's even cheaper. Do you know what's the worst? if you Google "Sega Genesis" and you know how those commonly asked questions that relate to the search appear also on the search results? Well if you click on the one thats says "How much can I get for a Sega Genesis" it gives you the answer from that exact article!!! There's like probably thousands of people Googling this thinking they have something worth $2,000.

[@frankayers6924]

Hilarious, I literally read the exact same article the other day. All I could do was shake my head.

[@abbeynormal252]

When I was a kid back in 95 I thought I had lost my Sega Genesis (version one) and about 30 games when my family had moved. My uncle recently died of a stroke and his wife had put to side some of his stuff that we could have and in box was my Sega with my initials on the back. I do remember him helping us move. I can only guess he helped himself to it or it was left in his truck and he just threw it in his garage and forgot about it.

[@StevieDrawStuff]

My first was a Master System for Christmas in 86/87? and I still have it. Then in 89 I got a Genesis with Altered Beast for Christmas.

[@jasonstone1938]

I still have my original Genesis system from 89!

[@TheLastLineLive]

Epic phone punch 👊

[@FireFlux73]

Great video! Even here in Canada I can get a Genesis for about 50$ with cables and a controller... wow! Crazy article! LOL

[@tjaycepcion]

i still got mine. Sega Genesis1 with streets of rage and nba jam. 😁

[@bezerker99]

omg a friend of mine shared this article yesterday on fb. i had to comment that there's not one sega genesis on ebay going for 2 grand. lol

Went to buybacks yesterday and made them take the $247.99 tag off of Yoshi's island. The dude said "yeah we've had a problem with people just looking on eBay and what not and putting the first price they see on it."

[@wastelander138]

I was a Megadrive kid for a few weeks. I got one for Christmas when I was like 5 or 6. I hooked it up to the TV my parents gave me and it had colour and no sound. A few weeks later my parents got a replacement console. It came with sound... but no colour. My parents then gave me a choice. Get a 3rd SEGA or switch to Nintendo. I chose the SNES. Thank god I did as most of my friends had the SNES so we had a good chance to swap games with each other.

[@Raphael_De_La_Ghetto]

RGT I like how you have balls to speak whats on your mind even if its exposing a top 7,000 website that may have seemed credible before you exposed them. Keep doing what you do.

[@TrapTyrant]

8:05 describes me perfectly. XD

[@gamer4lifewd]

I loved the Sega Genesis, but it's a combination of reality and nostalgia, because I remember the great games, but I also remember that I kept my NES while I had my Sega so I could have alot to play, before I got the Original PlayStation when I was in Middle School, I loved going to the Farmers Market and Funko Land to get games for my Sega and NES. Now I buy games mostly digitally and online for my PS4 and Switch, but I miss the hunt for hidden gems.

[@johnnyfontechanic7556]

I have mint original 🥰factory boxed of Sega CD Model 1(used for two hours) look new. kept in storage for decades...

[@retrotaco6668]

Last summer a dude at a garage sale brought out some dusty NES stuff, held up Mario/Duck Hunt cart and said "just this one here goes for over $100 on eBay" ....lol great video though as always RGT

[@Mitjitsu]

Do even the most rare variant of officially licensed consoles go for that much?

[@randyscribner6714]

was this a certain model or just any old Genesis?

[@murderdoggg]

Nice Rheem air conditioner in the intro.

[@bertterm3014]

hey shawn, you should check out the sonic forces demo on the japanese shop

[@PsychoVision19]

Dude the Genesis was my first ever system. Ah the memories.....the member berries.

[@TheGameGrinder]

I stopped by a random garage sale last year, dropped the usual question "have video games?" Guy told me no, but he had an NES and a cib Super Mario 3 that he was hanging on to, and told me that SMB3 cib was worth $800..

[@lockepsb]

I just paid $35 for a genesis model 1 with Sonic 2 over the Summer. Unfortunately it was missing the av cable.

[@KWKBOX]

This explains all the recent posts on ebay for these systems for 2K.

What is you Opinion on reproduction games. I would prefer the Originals my self but I don't know if games like Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Turtles in time is worth 60 plus dollars. I would like to hear your opinion on this topic.

[@adultmoshifan87]

I bought my PAL Turtles in Time on Super Nintendo in 2005 for £9.99 yet the prices it goes for today are INSANE!

[@BrianTBooher]

If you can get someone to pay you $2000 in cash for your Sega Genesis console after you tell them the good, bad, and ugly parts of your console, you politely accept their money, hand them your system, and walk away. Then you go on Ebay and buy another Genesis system for cheap and you made profit.

[@DontPaniku]

Are you sure you didn't get that article off of CNN.com?

[@agamer107]

DontPaniku got um

[@Islandswamp]

DontPaniku probably fox news.

[@davidprodigy5833]

If only that dream could come true

[@sonicaids]

The author probably has a genesis sitting at home and wanted to sell it on ebay so made the article to trick someone into buying it for that

[@ThomasSpychalski]

I know this is an older video, but did you see one of the others in this article was the Game Boy?: "With all these amazing graphics and stellar game systems, who needs a Game Boy these days? For that reason alone, you should get your hands on your old Game Boy and check what the value on it is. Mint condition Game Boys sell for hundreds, and if you have a special edition Game Boy, such as the Game Boy Light, it can go for over $1,500." As well as Mario Kart 64: "Super Mario has always been popular with kids and adults alike. If you own a mint-condition vintage cartridge of this childhood favorite, it could be worth $750."

[@vorenge]

So glad you commented on this. I saw this BS on eBay. As a fan of the Genesis and a gamer, this crap needed to be called out!

[@RGT85]

This is why I'm here!

[@josephhuffman2757]
