A retro gaming store just opened near my house, as always they carry lots of SNES stuff and they had their Super Famis for $150, complete. No box. I have to swing by and see the system in person, but in the pics, the console looked in good shape with no yellowing that I could see.
Is $150 a decent price?
-
Ive seen boxed systems sell for 5000-8000 yenny so after shipping (which with the AC brick makes it too heavy for anything other than EMS) its about $100-130
Id say $150 has a $20-30 profit margin
-
That's good to know. They seem pretty cool, so I'm gonna see if I can haggle on the price and get some games with it too.
At least it seems we have a decent retro store, even if they have avg internet prices.
Thanks Ope

$150 for a non CIB SFC?

don't know about the box, I asked them, haven't replied yet. Gonna have to make a trip down there and check it out.
-
I priced out a complete box I misread that for $150 it had no box? that's a bit high I think
-
That's really high, man. For that price it would have to be NIB I would think. Getting a minty non-yellowed SFC is getting a little harder these days, but that is just ridiculous.
-
I got one from Yamatoku off eBay, complete in box (though a tad yellowed) for about $110 IIRC. Non-EMS shipping put it maybe at $130.
You can probably find a loose SFami on eBay for less than $80 if you tracked enough auctions.
-
Loose SFC systems are like $20 - $30 here.

Awesome! Thanks for the input guys!!!
-
anything over 50 bucks for a lose one should be considered very high. now a 100% CIB in super condition on the other hand is a different rabbit hole.
-
I paid 200yen for mine...
-
i got one for free and an other one for 105yen. tho, very good conditioned pads can be a bit more expensive than that.
-
Found another one, no box, no power cord, one controller and a/v cables for $65 and free shipping. Can't I use a US power cord?

I think the SNES power jack is unique to it and the Virtual Boy, but the SFC uses a generic barrel jack. I'd be you can find something with similar specs pretty easily.
-
You can use a Genesis 1 power cord.

Wicked! Thanks!

Hit Japan has a nice one on eBay that comes with two controllers, original cables and power, and 5 games for $122 shipped. And that's coming from Japan. So I'd Say your local store is taking u for a ride at $150.

Hot damn! Link?
-
$122 shipped from Japan is about right, mostly because of the shipping, though. They're making a decent amount of change, but you should be able to find cheaper, especially if the SFC games are cruddy RPGs.
-
$122 is kinda pricey, I would keep an eye on Yamatoku-Classic's auctions as he sells Super Famis all the time. I got mine loose for less than $30 shipped from him and I'm sure you can get a Super Fami with controllers and hookups for dirt cheap that way.
-
Awesome! Thanks for the tips all!
-
Just get a bare bones system from a US seller. There's actually a few decent ones priced on ebay. Then just get a controller. Most "console only' at least come with the AC power adapter.
-
Way too high for a non-boxed SFC. I paid around $110shipped for my boxed SFC and it's in damn nice shape with instructions, no yellowing, AC adapter, baggies, etc.
-
everything above 105 yens is to expensive for a lose SFC.
