Japanese console or American?

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.

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.

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

Thanks.
