Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive? (lemmy.world)

And why can't I find it anywhere? I know it wasn't very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

Tbh with something like the Saturn, I'd recommend just grabbing a japanese one. They're typically found much cheaper and are also often in better condition (and come in more colours!)

Wouldn't the Japanese model also have a much larger library of games available and be able to use the RAM carts to boost performance?
