I'm also interested in eventually getting my hands on a Sega Genesis launch box (the one with altered beast), and those seem to go for quite a bit more. In all likelyhood, just a lot less of the Altered Beast Genesis boxes are still in existence. Genesis launched August of 1989, and SNES launched August 1991, a full two years later. I think SNES probably sold 5 times or more, what the original Genesis sold, so it makes sense that there would be a lot more SNES boxes floating around, and thus lower value for them.
If you just sold the SNES box by itself, you can probably get about $35 to $55 or so, depending on the condition, whether you still have the Styrofoam, etc, etc.
A truly complete original launch SNES, would also include the "quick setup instruction poster", also, there was this other little mini poster that has pics of Pilotwings and Super Play Action Football and stuff like that on it. That was also included. Other pamphlets and brochures were also included. If you had every little pamphlet and poster and everything, then the value would probably get closer to $100 or over, cause finding all those little pieces that go with it, is just going to get harder and harder as time goes by.
