View Full Version : Super Nintendo Mini
I have the chance to buy the Super Nintendo "Mini" off of a guy on Craigslist for $25. Cords and everything included. Would you pull the trigger?

Only if it's confirmed working. IIRC they're a bitch to repair because EVERYTHING is on one board, can't just switch out a bad sound or gfx sector.

I'm quite tempted, I've never actually seen one of these.

That's a good price given it works. For reference, I have one for sale on CL, with SMW, for $60. That's a little high, but at $50 I'm sure it would sell right away.

Do it man. $25 is a great price but as stated above I would try to verify that it works first.

I can't imagine how that isn't a good price. I have an SNES mini and it has been 100% reliable.

I bought one with all the hookups and 2 controllers for $20 a while back, but found out it had no sound when I got it. Since repairs wouldn't be worth the time and monetary investment, I sold it as is...it only went for $8.
This was, however, before the huge super ninty nostalgia boom.

Make sure you test it first because I find that they're very touchy. I've bought a few in the past that had some sort of problem with them.
