I've ordered from both Amazon and Ebay, and got malfunctioning consoles each time. My question is where can i order a new console, or at least one in good condition? Help me!

Finding one new is gonna be near impossible right now. The only thing I can really suggest is to buy an SNES from a seller that guarantees that the system will work or you'll get a refund or they'll replace the system for free.

Finding a new one at this point is a bit of a tall order. Occasionally you'll see one being sold somewhere, but always at insane prices.

I wouldn't count on finding a new one. A good way would be to go around your community and ask, or run an ad in the paper. A lot of people have an SNES stashed somewhere unused. I still have mine and it works perfectly. I would just try eBay again and make sure you get it from a reputible seller.

You could try to get something like the FC Twin, it accepts SNES games, and controllers, along with NES games (if you need that at all).

This is basically a new system that is compatible with most SNES/NES game. There are exceptions, but most are said to work.

Just an idea.

I bought one at a yard sale last year for $30 with 10 games. The thing worked prefectly. You just gotta keep your eyes peeled.

I would suggest the store "Slipped Discs" or "The Exchange". The prices will be somewhat high but if you really want a working SNES this is the place to go.

If you want a great price, try hunting around flee markets and garage sales.

Better yet, buy a Retro Duo, which is an updated FC Twin that Yobo released fairly recently. It is compatible with even more NES and SNES games than the original FC Twin. It is usually priced around $60, and comes with 2 SNES-like controllers.

For a used SNES go to Swapmeets and yardsales. I see them every weekend, but they're getting more expensive lately, roughly $40-$60.

New is a different story. I looked for about 3 years for a new SNES2 in the box. When I finally found one, I paid about $100, for it...Good luck.

strange, i oredered mine off ebay and it works, perfectly fine.

Send yours back and buy another one with the refunded money, also say that they didn't say it was broken, so you could sue.

Some stores don't sell SNES, but they do sell systems that play a SNES.
