I wonder if I could glue these to my wall, and intermix the yellow ones with the not-so-yellow ones in order to make a beautiful mosaic�

OK, someone has to weigh this. I CAN'T go on living thinking that 24 SNES decks ACTUALLY weighs 75 pounds.

Unfortunately 24 decks can weight close to a total of about 75#. Each deck is about 2.5 pounds (60#). Add in the box and packing materials and that could run up another 15#. I only have a bathroom scale to check the weight of older SNES deck so the scale could be off by a little.

Anyone think it would be worth it to go for? Shipping would probably be at least what $30?

I live 2 states away from them, so the CHEAPEST shipping for 70 pounds:(USPS site won't calculate above 70 pounds)
Priority Mail 2 Day(s) $57.95
Parcel Post 3 Day(s) $20.87
Media Mail 3 Day(s) $22.84

Hehe, Media mail is more expensive, never would have thought that was even possible :)

Of course, if you live in california, then you're looking at:
Priority Mail 3 Day(s) $122.30
Parcel Post Unable to determine $43.68
Media Mail Unable to determine $22.84

Just out of curiosity,

What are you going to do with 24 dirty, yellowed and in some cases broken SNES consoles without any of the cables, plugs or controllers?

If you saw what I have in my basement, you would know why! Ask the user dave2236, he has seen my madness! (He calls me a hoarder)
I have a ton of controllers and AC adapters so this would work great for me!

I didn't expect it to go that high, considering shipping and all.

The shipping can be more than the ending auction bid.
