As the title suggests, I'm looking to buy a SNES =]

Ideally it would have a box, but I don't really mind, all it has to have are the original cables, and two controllers.

I've had a look around and I'm unsure

A - Where to buy
B - For what price

If anyone has tips or suggestions they would be most welcome, I would rather buy online than in-store (the stores near me aren't great, and a fair distance away) and it has to be a PAL system.

Thanky X3

Well personally eBay really is the best place, or boot sales, eBay will let you know exactly how much it's worth, buying retro consoles from shops is a rip off becuase they think they can charge extra becuase it's retro. If you buy from a shop it's not any more reliable or better condition than one on eBay, the only online shop I know is http://www.retro-games.net/ecom/

I'd probably look at the sales on Amazon. I'd say no more than $20 USD. The thing's nearly 18 years old. I got a Dreamcast in 2008 for $20 USD. SNES is way older.

If all else fails, go with p_nut: eBay. :biggrin:

EDIT: I realize that the last post was 2 months ago, but this is probably good information for anyone else trying to buy a SNES (which if you don't have one, you should get one).
