Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive?
And why can't I find it anywhere? I know it wasn't very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

Tbh with something like the Saturn, I'd recommend just grabbing a japanese one. They're typically found much cheaper and are also often in better condition (and come in more colours!)
Wouldn't the Japanese model also have a much larger library of games available and be able to use the RAM carts to boost performance?
It’s very easy to get around region locking with a “4-in-1” cart, plus two of the other functions are RAM expansion (1MB and 4MB modes).
Definitely this! I just picked up a white Saturn recently and it's in great shape. I paid quite a bit more in shipping, but overall it was still less than I would've paid to buy one from the US.
