    All the stores around me charge rediculous prices for yellow faded SNES systems with no controllers. Does anybody have an NTSC SNES that's not yellow/looks like its been buried for 10 years that they are willing to sell for less than $25?

    Patience. Yes, this board has a lot of members, but surprisingly they don't always have the info you need or item you seek. (This is a quality lot of people to turn to, though.)

    SNES units are hard to find, I should know. Sorry I can't do much for you about this. I had a surge in SNES collecting back in winter 05/06.. and it was tough finding a console! :/

    I was actually reffering to the spam that BBgrave posted. Oh and Pikkon like I said all those local places have nothing but crap. Nobody has anything in my area on craigslist.

    I can't seem to find a store near by that has one for less than $50. Apparently a P.C. Richards a couple miles away has an unopened SNES that one of the employees found in a storage container behind the store that they are selling for $50. I would grab it but I just don't have $50 to blow right now.

    I know and I want it badly. I just don't have the $50 to go out and spend. I think I might need to sacrafice some of my 360 games. Anyway stores like P.C. Richards have always done that due to horrible stock keeping. About 2 years ago they were selling unopened Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark boxes.

    $50 for an unopened SNES is a good way to make a very nice return on Ebay.

    if I was told by a store they had one sealed never opened for $50 i would have used what ever cash i had plus sold GTA for 360 and a few others for that matter. Since you would make way more than $50 by selling it online or just keep it yourself and know in a few more years you have atleast $150+ to sell later.
