How much should I sell my SNES for?

Postby kevin1gamer » Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:44 pm

Alright, I'm selling a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that is in excellent condition, plus a lot of games and accessories for it. Is anyone interested? I've looked on Amazon, and the lowest price for a used system alone is about $40. Some of the games I have for it are extremely rare (such as MechWarrior) and worth $50+. I'm thinking about selling it for about $500 or more, but the price is negotiable and I haven't settled on a price yet.


This includes:
-SNES system
-cords and cables
-2 controllers
-1 mouse
-Game Saver
-Game Genie
-16 games
--Alien 3
--MechWarrior
--NHLPA Hockey 93
--Civilization
--Operation Logic Bomb
--Super Star Wars
--Super The Empire Strikes Back
--Super Return of the Jedi
--Mega Man X
--NBA All-Star Challenge
--NHL Stanley Cup
--John Madden Football
--Boogerman
--The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
--Donkey Kong Country

Sell it all for 650. Thats fair. The system, you might get 35. The only reason it goes so high is from the rare games.

It's all about the current gen now, X360, PS3, Wii.

$100???? ARE YOU NUTS?????

Some of those games are 100+!!!!!! If you sell it for less than 600, your waisting your time. 600-650 is about what it all goes for. Thats what all of its worth.

Yeah, I've seen some rare games on Amazon being sold used for over $100 (lowest price).

Pfft. I wouldn't buy an SNES and games for anything for over $100, but whatever, knock yourself out.

You obviously don't have a clue how much some of those games are worth.

You used to be able to buy all that at a swapmeet for 15 dollars. Thinks have changed I guess. XD

Probably not a whole lot... Video game systems are like toys... They usually don't raise in value over time. Wear, tear, dust, things like that depreciate the value over time.

Unless you find a devoted buyer, you're not gonna get a whole lot.

$100 max. Honestly, name one game there that is rare. I've seen all of them (aside from Boogerman) at a local vidy game shop here. I know the prices probably more than anyone else here because I actually go to shops looking for old video games (a bit of a collector). Anyone who'd pay over $100 for that is an idiot.
