I want US SNES old model (I mean not SNES Mini).

I need only the console.

Ebay has few but are either ridiculous prices themself, yellow, painted or have that stupid prepaid customs postage thing that quadrubles the price.

So could someone find me good condition (non painted & non yellow) US SNES that is not super expensive and sell it to me.

I need it fast.

You should have asked before the weekend. I saw a few SNES for around $25 at the flea market. The big question is how much you want to pay in total, with the cost of shipping included?

As little as possible naturally.

Around 25 bucks sounds OK + cheapest possible postage (using the cheapest postage option is usually 3-4 weeks in mail which I can wait).

But I need good condition no yellowing or paint.

I have power suplies and cables, so console only is enough (but few CIB or cart+ manual games would not hurt).

finding an un-yellowed one in the wild is a rare sight

I knoow, but I still want  un yellowed.
It's not the color but yellowing is also britling, and paint means covering said problem.

I did a search for BUY IT NOW auctions on eBay of SNES consoles under $40 and it came up with a good number of listings. I saw a few that didn't look discolored for around $30.

Give me link to one so I can check dooes that have that idiotic prepay costom thingie that raises both the postage and the customs fee to ridiculous level, usually quadrupling the price.

Here's an example. If you do the search, you'll have to filter through a bunch of broken systems. It looks white to me, it just needs to be whipped down.

Yeah I was looking at that one too, and it has that idiotic custom service thing that bit over triples the price.

35$ + 28.70$ shipping + 15.82$ import charges.

Your best bet would be to contact an American member here, pay him/her to send one to you as a GIFT, so you'll get no import charges and use like economy shipping.

Might take a while but it'll save you like 40$

Hence the topic, if someone bites.

And for me it was something 35$ + 42$ + 30$ which can't even be right as no way the import chrage is that much (correct would be about half).

So if any US or Canadian finds US SNES that is working, non yellow and not painted please help me get one.
