SNES Mini - No box, just the system - $54.99
NES top loader - No box, just system - $39.99
Sega Genesis - No box, just system - $19.99

Thanks!

If by "just system" you mean barebones, then all of those are high. If they do come with components:

SNES with box: $50 is about right, maybe a little low. Boxes for systems don't usully add much for some reason.

SNES mini: again, $55 is about right, maybe a touch high. Usually an SNES (either model) can be had for ~$50 with Super Mario World

NES toploader: $40 is good. last I looked they brought more like $60

Genesis: $20 is about right for ebay, but these things can be found all over the place for much less. If you can't make it to garage sales/fleas, then this isn't too bad I guess. I know Flack is rumored to have tons of these, maybe hit him up if you really want one.

They're all on websites. And what I mean by just system I mean what it would need to be played. Adapters, controllers, etc.

ya, the snes mini is a bit overpriced,

39.99 for a toploader nes is an awesome deal, as long as its not a yobo, ect. lol

the snes with the box is priced right, not a bargain, but priced right

and the sega is about right also, if its a really clean one its a good deal, if its less than excellent condition i would pass on it and find a nicer one for the same price, should not be a problem.

Is there anyone on the forums who can give me a better price for the Genesis?

As I said above, ask Flack.

Haven't gotten the chance, but sure they're still there.

$50 seems a bit much for an SNES. I personally wouldn't pay more than $35 before shipping. $55 is a bit much for the second model, but I wouldn't buy one anyways, since it can't do S-Video natively.
