No, I'm looking for new, like return-with-a-receipt-able new. I have relatives who love mine, and I would like to give them each one for their birthdays (all coming up within the next 10 days), but I'm not going to buy them a gift that they can't return if they don't like it.
I can't believe that every store sold off their entire inventory in the last two months?!?

Actually I think most places sold out before Christmas (due to the price drop and cease of manufacture) ... as I understand it I was lucky to get mine for Christmas. 
There are pre-owned ones listed on www.funcoland.com ... I'm not sure of the return policy on these, but they do have a short warranty. They want $69.99 for them or have several with a 2K sports game for $79.99

According to the site: "This pre-owned system has been thoroughly tested and comes with a 30-day guarantee. Does not include original box."

They were kinda slow in shipping my stuff, saying it was back ordered, but they shipped it. I would give them a call if you need it within 10 days.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think I'm just gonna ask the kids if they want the damn things, and if so, pick 'em up used. I hate hate hate dealing with places like funcoland, but it's either that, ebay, or the quite expensive site mentioned by Deadpool. I actually picked one up from funcoland tonight, and I can see it's gonna be a real pain in the ass to get good stuff -
Yeah, BS. the system I picked up came with the hookups and a controller shrink wrapped to the console. I got home and popped it open to insure that it was in proper working condition. The first thing I noticed was the incredible nicotene stench that came off the thing when I unwrapped it - the whole thing is yellowed from smoke. next, I see that they have given me a power plug that doesn't even fit in the hole in the unit. I go and get the power plug from my unit and plug 'er in - the thing shows the dreamcast logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing. Sure they thoroughly test the systems.
