A month ago I picked up a cheap 2nd hand Dreamcast, and have spent lots of
money on buying some utterly fantastic games, most cheap, a few less so...

Anyway, I'm in the UK and looking to buy NFL 2k2 and Samba de Amigo, can you
point me towards any online suppliers who sell these two games (either new
or 2nd hand) for a cheap/reasonable price and ship to the UK?

Also, if anyone wants to sell theirs, I might be interested in making an
offer (paypal waiting).

Rock on! There's a *lot* of good stuff out there for the DC. Being in the UK,
have you tried Headhunter yet?

Not living in the UK, I don't have a whole lot on that. Have you tried Ebay UK
yet?

Nfl 2k2 doesn't appear on eBay UK much, eBay.com and Amazon.com
(marketplace) often have this game very cheap but sadly the sellers don't
export to the UK.

As for Samba, the PAL version goes for prohibitively high sums on eBay UK
(it's the box-set) or you can bid for the Japanese version(s). Again, the US
version is fairly priced but the export problem rears it's head.

Damn good, isn't it? I love it...in fact, I believe it to be one of the best, if
not *the* best game on the DC. Got it the day it came out...well, a little
afterwards as I had to import it from the UK...

Hmmmm, well, I know a few guys in the UK...let me ask where they go for that
sort of stuff and I'll get back to you. :)

Ah yeah, I can dig it. I'll see what that buddy of mine says, maybe we can find
something for you...

Ah mate, that would be fantastic. I've got to say that picking up DC games
over the last few weeks has been a bit of a revelation, with each game
exceeding my expectations and more impressive than the last.

Indeed. The DC was an excellent system, and had the power to really do the
games right...it was a tragedy when Sega just let it die. Most of the DC
library is very good, you should have a great time with it. It's sad that you
didn't get to try any of the online stuff out while it was still around, but
some games are still up and running. Be sure and post any questions and/or
comments on anything you've got or are interested in...could make for some
nice conversation. :)

Well, so far this has come in:

http://www1.cex.co.uk/

Looks like it has a lot of stuff, though I didn't see NFL2k2. Not sure how the
prices are either, but you may want to look into it. I'll keep asking people, and
will post any other suggestions... :)

I've manged to find a Samba for just over $25 incl' shipping, so i'm pleased
with that (and maracas are on order too). Still no joy with nfl 2k2 though.

I'm aware of cex and generally give them and telegames a wide berth, their
respective prices for dc games are essentially extortion.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I wasn't too sure on them, it was just one of the suggestions I
heard from people in the UK. Will keep asking around...
