    Hey guys i have been quoted $800 AUD for a pal version boxed
    Super Nintendo (complete with box and instructions in great condition)
    Donkey Kong 1,2,3 (all excellent condition and instructions and boxes)
    Super Mario World (excellent condition)
    Super Mario Kart (excellent condition)
    Extra control boxed (excellent condition

    It seems expensive but everything is mint and i feel as though it is a pretty decent deal, thoughts appreciated!

    Photos will help, but considering you were quoted in AUD people are idiots over here for anything PAL Nintendo NES, SNES and N64.

    It really depends on how much you want to spend on these things, people's opinions on MINT could mean just complete and so on, so reasons why I say photos will help.

    Loose I sold my SNES with a few other crappy games along with those titles you mentioned minus the extra boxed controller for $280 last year.

    Ha! You'd pick that lot up for around £200 tops, I'd say (under $400 Australian).

    Complete rip-off.

    Pretty sure its in store rather than online. But I will check with them and pass on details if they are relevant.

    Yes in Europe/UK games are PAL and will work just fine here.

    Well if it was me, I would pay 200 EUR - 300 EUR for it. Even if it's Australia, I wouldn't pay more than $500

    Yeah I've started looking even more extensively and it seem ridiculous, what would you pay for the games on their own?

    Console Passion has been going ages. You're going to pay a LOT for shipping from the UK, though. And you'll need to put an Australian plug on the console. I don't know what your situation is with import duty, either.

    The games are worth £20-30 each. Yes, it's more expensive in Australia - but double? Ridiculous! Oh, and you'd probably save more by buying the Super Mario World or maybe even Super Mario All Stars 5-in-1 console, although you won't have a box for the game. The Super Mario All Stars 4-in-1 and Street Fighter consoles tend to be the cheapest (typical - I have both from new! lol).

    Why are they the cheapest I thought they'd be more rare, I think I've got a all stars console pack in great condition for $200 AUD ? Any chance you'd sell the street fighter console? Haha will the games from console passion work straight up with my console?

    Im really keen on gettin all MK's Mario kart all street fighters do they get them in? also double dragon would be awesome but wouldn't that be really rare?

    and sorry are console passions games normally mint condition?

    The 4-in-1 All-Stars pack was sold in pretty large quantities and shops were selling it off cheap - bundled with the Super Scope in some cases. It goes for around £50 in reasonable condition nowadays. You should be able to pick up a very good condition example for £100 tops. The two variants of the 5-in-1 pack go for a bit more, but often around the £80 mark for a reasonable example.

    Bizarrely, the bog standard console pack as you have photographed here seems to sell for around £50-60 (either the 1 or 2 controller version).

    I'm not selling my SF2 SNES at the moment, I'm afraid!

    Very interesting to here thanks for the info!! Well I'm an electrician so I can change the plugs and adapters easily, what website/ shop would be where I could grab the 5 in 1 from? And does anywhere over there sell the double dragon / street fighter style games? As the most "rare" per se fighting game I've seen over here is battletoads lol

    The 5-in-1 packs turn up regularly on eBay. Dealers will get them in stock but probably charge a lot.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-NIN...onsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item27e807accd

    The blue box one is rarer. I'd imagine the Australian red box one is pretty scarce, too. It's interesting to note they had a lifetime warranty over there! I'm sure there's some clause that says that's lifetime of the console in shops.

    Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 2 Turbo are common - every shop that sells SNES will have a copy. Killer Instinct is fairly common, and Primal Rage. Clayfighters is getting a bit more scarce... Super Double Dragon, too. The Batman games turn up fairly often. Final Fight perhaps. Last Action Hero and Power Rangers I've seen a bit.

    Every single game you mentioned I would be interested in besides primal rage lol are they sold from the same link you put in the post? Ps thanks for all your help lol I can see I'll be asking a fair few questions if you don't mind haha
    Also just check out that link! Pretty good price! I think I may have got one over here just before though, the only pro is that it's all AUS standard, but I'd love to get these other games ! Even all the DK's

    Having a few second thoughts about buying this snes, everything else looks good, but with the discoloration I'm not sure it's worth it, for 200 Aud thoughts?

    You'll probably find those games on eBay - I meant that any retro shop here will have them, they're common.

    Discolouration is becoming common. It's up to you - I wouldn't pay that much personally. Is it a standard All Stars pack? I'd be looking for the Australian exclusive packs over there if you want an Australian machine.
