I really didn't want to put them up for sale, but since I'll be needing the money on the future, I better make sure to get it.

Reason: It's just for my future in case I need I'll use, I've been tempted to buy stuff but better not.

Have been search for jobs but no replies, sucks, damn. Applied for 4-5 Game Tester's job (pretty tough job, 'nuff said)

I live pretty well, but money is more important now. Never thought I'd have to sell my sweet consoles, and I've said to myself "I'll never sell my consoles again" and here I am, asking for people's opinion about it.

not allowed since I can't get a credit card and I can't use my parents.

You can pay a friend/relative with cash and ask them to buy you what you want from the Internet, I've done this before with a PS2 game, which was DoA 2.

Can't get credit card? Why?

Student's /*young people can get credit card too, I don't know about there in USA, but in UK it's possible all right. I'm sure it's possible too.

Open a PayPal account and answer the surveys and those doubtful websites which give you money (not much but okay.. I guess).

You know, Lockerz gives out money on redemption, but it sucks really, I have been able to get any thing on the past redemptions all disappear in a blink of an eye. And I missed the redemption yesterday, this shows how much I'm into Lockerz.

Oooor he could just obey his parents :P

I don't think they're being terribly unreasonable.

All you need to do is prove to your parents that you're responsible. Pay them in advance, use their credit card, get what you want.

but don't buy a Jaguar. That's a silly waste of money.

they don't want their credit card info on the internet.  No budging on that either.

@FCMRetrogamer, I'm in canada and no I can't get a credit card.

I'm 30 and nobody won't give me a credit card in Japan. Damn Japanese discrimination against foreigners and self-employed... (and I'm both that!)
Good thing I still have my German credit card. Got that without any problems although I was a student without job.  :)

Atari Jaguar is just for collecting purpose, not for real gaming.

Yeah, as far as collecting goes I'd love to add a Jaguar to my collection, too some time down the road. And there HAS to be a game or 2 worth playing... or so I believe.

Doom and Alien vs Predator are two, plus you got the side scrolling and sport games.

I think I'll be better off selling all separately.

you're forgetting that the jaguar has an unbelievable port of Wolfenstein 3D! By far the best version even compared to the PC!  It also has Theme Park, Rayman, Alien Vs. Predator.  Which is enough for me to want it.

Wolf 3D isn't worth owning a system for, and there are even better ports of it on Xbox 1 homebrew and Xbox Live Arcade.

the XBLA version is just the PC version and the Jaguar version exceeded the PC version.

Really? But that horrid keypad style controller...I can't imagine it plays any better than the Genesis port of Duke Nukem 3D.

Jaguar version had excellent sound and good music immerses me into the game well.  The controller wasn't bad for that game anyways.
