Japanese console or American?

Post by notanoob » Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:45 am

Alright, awhile ago I bought a used 3do. I'd guess that it's American, but it's just there's a bunch of Japanese writing on it. Any help is appreciated. Also, I hope it'd cool if I post this here. Thanks.

It is Japanese. The input voltage/frequency is the dead give away (besides the Japanese text).

It will also have a non-polarized and ungrounded plug.

Really? Haha, that's awesome! Yeah, the Japanese text had me a bit confused, I mean I used it on my tv and plugged in my socket, here in the U.S. Plus, I didn't wanna mislead anyone that would wanna buy it. Thank you so much!

Oh, forgot to say, I'd love to sell it here, but I understand I'm not really established and I don't know the value. I'm guessing most people here already have one too. I would love to skip the ebay fees, so I might throw it up here on the marketplace, but I'd want at least a certain amount. Does anyone know how much someone would be willing to pay for Japanese console on this site. Since I'm a new member I also would be willing to prove myself so no one thinks I'm a scammer. Thanks.

Yeah, no doubt about it. No RFU out port. Japanese only. I'd buy it if it were a TRY system from Sanyo. That is my Unicorn.
This is a stick up! Put all of your 3DO games in the bag and nobody gets hurt!

Do you have an ebay account with feedback we could link to you?

Yeah, I'll give you my ebay info. I was kinda in a hurry to sell it, I need money and wasn't really using it, so I ended up just throwing it online. If someone wants to buy it from here, I'd gladly pull it. My user name is codyn1992 (I'd post a link to the auction, but I don't wanna piss anyone off here). I usually sell cd's online (just so easy to ship), so don't be surprised to see some on there. Oh and back to the 3DO, any ideas on the value, I mean I saw a couple around $200-$300. Thanks again for the help.

The value depends somewhat on the completeness of the console and condition.
Do you have the box and packaging / documents / control pad / etc. ?

Also, you might want to wipe that sucker down a little too. It looks like it has been around the block a few times. :wink:

While I don't have the box and documents, I do have a logitech arc1 controller and av cables, so other than a game, it's ready to go. Following your advice, I cleaned it up :D Thanks.
