Hmm, not at all sure which forum this would be best in, so I'll plump for this one, but go easy on me fellas, I'm a Suppliers Forum virgin.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much it would cost to post a standalone dreamcast in original packaging? I would go to the PO, but that would mean leaving the house, and as Homer says:

"What's the point in leaving the house? We always wind up back here anyways"

Pop it on the bathroom/kitchen scales, do it in bits if its too heavy. :D
Royal mail have a postage calculator on their site;

Sorry, didn't make it too clear, haven't got any scales (bathroom or kitchen... this is a student house after all... you'll be expecting us to have a TV licence next!).
So perhpas, a better question would have been how much does a Dreamcast weigh? I'll go to the PO when I need to send it, but was just after a rough idea so I can advise a buyer

Cheers

coincidence mate! :D

I posted my DC at the PO in 2 bits, first bit (DC in the origianl box with newspaper stuffed in it) was £8something special delivery. The second shoebox (with all the cables, pad, and polystyrene) was about the same iirc first class recorded. Both arrived next day.
