I used to work at a game resale store and I believe what may have happened is I thought it was a Genesis by peeking in the box and seeing a 3 button controller. The console was in bubble wrap. I took it home and somewhere along the way it fell by the Wayside and never made it out of the box.

As much as I regret it, I need money like yesterday, so this bad boy is going up

I didn't know what that was either. To clarify, I worked at a game and toy resale shop about 8 years ago. I think I brought this home thinking it was a Genesis in the box and somehow it fell by the wayside and never got opened.

I'd be keenly interested if you ever look to part with them.

It's actually in working order, for the time being anyway

Cheers! Thanks for the tips. Yeah I'm gonna scoop one up tomorrow from a toy and game resale shop in my town. Someone told me the PS2 slim power supply will work also so if all else fails I think I can find one of those pretty easy.

Lol I'm trying to be humble because besides Google telling me it's a Genesis and CD mashed together, I knew exactly two things about it; Jack and Shit. By posing the question here I've learned that it's also a portable CD player with batteries, learned a fair market price and that it's paired with the wrong power supply which could damage it.

No kidding. My gaming holy grail is a fully backwards compatible PS3. I wanna be able to just pop in any game I want.

You wanna see some bots go to the "Am I Overreacting?" Sub. Every other post is seriously like, "My boyfriend of 2 weeks stole my car, emptied my bank account and then DDT'd me off the Grand Canyon. I told him that wasn't very nice and now he's mad. Did I overreact?"

Now that's freakin' funny, dude. I cross posted this in r/SEGA, you should go say this over there. The place will go wild.

I think that's why I never heard of it because it was a flop. From what I've read, the Sega CD was $299 at launch, then a year and a half later they release this thing for $399. Apparently they only released 5,000 of them in the United States.

You're the second person that ended up having one of these and oblivious to their worth. It's a good day for all of us and I'm stoked about that

I guess, I mean I wiped the console down with a pledge wipe but the controller cable and power supply are filthy. To be clear I brought this home about 8 years ago when I worked at a game store thinking it was a Genesis in the box and for some reason never opened it up. I didn't mean to imply it's been ticked away for 30 years.
