Black Super Nintendo?

[0078265317]

The Super Nintendo I have is heavily yellow and chipped some. Yellow is no big deal but the chips annoys me. Then I saw this.

I know its custom but looks mint except the paint job. I mean no cracks or anything. The question is does the black look ugly or should I buy it?

Does black look ugly? No. Does that SNES in the listing look ugly? Hell yes. Stay away at all costs. Pick a real one up that hasn't been crapped on like that one.

The picture looks like the black paint job has been scuffed up badly. Avoid it.

Lots of missing spot below reset button, the label below power button was poorly masked. I think it was painted by an 8 year old.

 

No serial number.. I wonder if it can be reported to eBay for violating the rule about defiling or removing serial number label? eBay usually frowns on this because it makes tracking stolen good harder.

lol description "The system works every now and then" looks like crap and doesn't work right.

Looks like somebody went nuts with a can of Krylon Fusion...and that description..."works sometimes?" Translation: works never.

[godslabrat]

SNES units are incredibly reliable. If this dude jacked his up enough that it "sometimes" doesn't work, it must be majorly damaged.

Well here is one for 89.

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 181131874780

 

and one for 10 but no reeseve.

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 321142307960

 

But better paint job.

Are you set on getting a black Super Nintendo, or mainly just want to replace your currently chipped console no matter the color?

 

Of the two auctions you linked, the first one appeals to my tastes more. The paint job looks pretty good, and none of the mixed colors seen in the second auction.

[0078265317]

I don't care about the color just want to fix the chips. I was just saying black since we started talking about black. And 10 dollars is the cheapest I've seen. Or there is this. No chips but still ugly and dirty.

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330938271370 And no guarentee I can fix the 3 of them. Or even resell all three parts and break even.

 

Or this eBay Auction -- Item Number: 271222748516 only 5 bucks and no chips but still dirty.

Here's some piece of crap nobody should ever want. Should I buy it?

No. Is there something wrong with buying normal, working super nintendos? Maybe look for two that are only half discolored, and put together for a normal case.

Looks like shit.

[Video]

IIR Super Nintendo got the "play it loud" treatment just like gameboy (and later, N64, though called something else)

 

I also remember a KI bundle with a black SNES, but I could be remembering it wrong.

 

That system looks like just a crap job from a shaker can or something. And the "sometimes" bit, yeah, don't waste your money.

[Uzumaki]

You're sure? I thought SNES only came in grey color, both the original and Jr? And that play it loud type color for non portable didn't start until N64?
