It`s certainly a good selection, and if I were you I`d be hoping for quite a bit more than £200.

I reckon 200 is about right......maybe a touch high.I know the Dreamcast is 32 bit machine and was a good console that only stopped producing games recently.....but prices have dropped like a stone......for 200 people can get a new console and quite a few games.
Good luck getting 200.......I think 140 may be nearer the mark.

Must admit I hate this "Bit" nonsense, the DC and modern consoles only have a 32Bit processor, where they get this 128Bit crap from is that it has multiple processors usually. Is my PC 96Bit because I have a 32bit cpu, 32bit processor on the gfx card and 32bit processor on the sound card as well??? Nope it`s 32Bit because thats what the main CPU is! Saturn was one of the few exceptions as it had 2x32bit cpu`s, both were independant but they could both be used in parallel. An example of this was 1 cpu was used per fighter in the Virtua Fighter games, prob was it was bloody difficult for most people to code properly for and it flopped miserably anyway.

DC is 32Bit as is the PS2, XBox etc...

It`s almost as bad as this Megabit crap they invented to make their game cartridges sound bigger. "Ooooh my cartridge is 16Mbit!" (less than a 2 floppy disks)

I was going to sell my dreamcast with everything you have and quite a few more games and accessories and was hoping for it to reach £150 - I`ll be watching yours with interest to see how much it gets.
