The Sega Saturn is one of those consoles I now semi- discourage people from getting into. While price is definitely a factor, I think on one hand you have arcade ports that can just as easily be emulated in MAME or were ported to the PS1; and on the other, you have weird exclusives that, with a couple of shining exceptions (but not the SAT Shining games, all of those suck), don't stand up to Sega exclusives on the Genesis and Dreamcast.
I've sold a large portion of my collection over the years, because there are only so many early, ugly 3D games you can stomach, only so many mediocre Working Designs titles you can suffer through*, and unless you've got a crowd of friends, those fighting games aren't doing you any favors by themselves. There's obviously good games on the console, but this is a case where you can literally afford to be picky.
I like when auctions have a BIN that goes away if bidding starts, and you get f*cknuts that see a sane BIN, go "im going to try getting it cheap!"
... and then contribute to the bid war that shoots it up 20-30$ more than the BIN.... while more are listed with the cheaper BIN price.
I try to psychologically exploit this in bidders when I list auctions on ebay. I gotta make money and it ain't my fault that people can't control themselves. 
*sans Dragon Force. The ONLY good WD release on the Saturn.
You're saying that the Saturn is only good for (now) dated 3D and stuff you can get in MAME? Is that actually what you are saying?
Because that's kinda fuct. That's the sort of joke someone would base a fake Twitter account on to crank "humor" out of every day.
I agree with Zeta. There are so many fantastic 2D games on the saturn. Astal is one of those games that I love dearly because of its atmosphere and just the surrealness. There are also a lot of arcade ports that definitely play better on the saturn than the PS1. Such as the Xmen games, capcom games, and such. There are only certain exceptions such as the donpachi and dodonpachi, and kaitei daisensou/in the hunt are the ones that play better on the PS1. When you play most of the arcade ports on the saturn you definitely notice a significant difference because of the power of the 1meg and the 4meg ram carts. It was very much a mini arcade machine in it of itself. While it may be hard to collect for now, but they have a great repertoire of hilariously great games on the system.
You're kind of proving his point with all the arcade stuff...
But Astal was never in the arcade. Neither was Guardian Heroes, Policenauts, Shining Force, Bomberman SS, Lenos 2, Six Man Scramble, Lunar, Radient Silvergun (MAME/STV version lacks MANY improvements made for Saturn), Silhouette Mirage, The Apocolypse IV, Three Dirty Dwarves, Wachenroader...
I specifically didn't mention the ton of Neo/CPS2 games because they play in MAME even though home versions are often improved upon considerably (SFZ3) and I also avoided games that existed as nearly identical versions on older machines (Polcenauts excepted because nobody wants to maintain a 3DO for that) or games that eventually received superior remakes on DC (Sakura Wars 1 and 2). I even left out some stuff that's probably just too dated in general but was rad at the time, like Super Robot Wars F/F Final and the Daisenryaku titles. And I left out all the crusty 3D, even though I still very much enjoy some of it like Megamix, Last Brox, Sonic R, and the entire Panzer series.
It's a great machine with tons of software. This guy is nuts or he just doesn't have any taste.
