PAL SNES Pricing help.

[Arseen]

I was offered PAL SNES, but how much should I pay for it?

My co-worker decided that his husband plays too much (in this rare occasion I do agree, if even quarter of what I've heard is true) so she gave it to me and asked me to pay fair price.

I haven't tried it yet so descriptions are visual and feel based without powering it on, but it should work just fine.

The SNES is in guide good condition (bit dirty but no discoloring I think and no noticeable scuffs), and comes with:
- Genuine SNES PAL Pad (bit loose feeling dpad other wise feels OK)
- Fake SNES US Pad (seems firm).
- Genuine power suply
- Off-brand AV-cable without the scart adapter (no biggie as those I have plenty).
- 9 loose PAL games, all in OK shape:
  - Aladdin
  - FIFA International Soccer
  - Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse
  - Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing
  - NBA Give 'N Go
  - Pinocchio
  - Super Mario Kart
  - Super Soccer
  - Super Tennis

So how much should I pay her?

I would say the equivalent of approximately $50-60 USD.

Well I'd be lucky to find similar in Australia for under $100 AUD. Going up to close to $200 if buying each item separately from a retro game store.

But then we're a bit of an anomaly down here because we're so far away from everyone else, especially the rest of PAL-land.

I would be *happy* to pay closer to $70-80. Mind you, Super Mario Kart alone costs about $60 at retro game stores, so I might be being a little harsh.

I know her husband paid 90 for the lot few moths ago... and she is good co-worker... I do need PAL SNES... but I have all those games apat from NBA... I gotta think...

I don't know if shipping would prove prohibitive, but I'd be happy to buy the other games off you (except Super Tennis, I've already got 2 copies of that), assuming they're in English.

I'll check but I think they are in English.

Postage to Ozzyland seems to be 25-35 Euros, probably closer to 25.

- Genuine SNES PAL Pad (bit loose feeling dpad other wise feels OK) --> 10€
- Fake SNES US Pad (seems firm). 5€
- Genuine power suply 5€
- Off-brand AV-cable without the scart adapter (no biggie as those I have plenty). 0€
- 9 loose PAL games, all in OK shape:
  - Aladdin
  - FIFA International Soccer
  - Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse < 10€
  - Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing
  - NBA Give 'N Go
  - Pinocchio
  - Super Mario Kart < 30€
  - Super Soccer
  - Super Tennis

Plus the console, that would be worth around 80€ around my area.
I don't even know how to value the other games, but I doubt they're worth much.

I wouldn't pay more than £45 for that lot (well £40 but i'm tight). Might fetch £50-60 on ebay though since snes prices are going mad on a daily basis lately.

I'm keeping the console so no need to think the resell price.

I will sell the duplicate games (thedrowningman has dibs).

I'm trying to find high enough price to be fair to her as she is a good friend, but at the same time pay as little as possible as I'm cheapskate.

Oh and the console works flawlessly, as does Mario Kart (haven't tried others yet).
