All I'm trying to do...

[Acts 2:38 girl]

...is bid on a Super Nintendo System on E-bay, but on every one, I've gotten outbidden!  I'm talking like 7-8 times here!  A friend gave us one for free with about 25 games.  We cleaned it all up inside, etc, buit it's pretty obvious that it's a goner.  We plan on putting it down in the play room in the basement.  Oour basement is devided in helf by a finished staircase so you have two rooms on either side.  One side was finished off and the other is not (our laundry room)  We have a huge playroom on the finished side, but the kids don't want to play down there by themselves!  I though if the Nintendo is down there, they will get used to it.  But now I can't get one!  My problem is that I refuse to pay over $20. for a used one, plus the $10. to ship it!     Well, the good thing about e-bay is there is always new things coming up!  

Anybody have a Ninteno they want to sell cheap?!!

More information

I believe I have one you can have for 20 bucks It is difficult to get them for less than 20 bucks, they usually go for upwards of 30+, depends on the games and accessories. You should have thought of me when you thought eBay

DD is back from the hospital, they released her late yesterday afternoon after she managed to hold her lunch She is staying home for a few days now .....

Check to see if there is an Electronic Boutique in one of the local malls, it may be a little over $20, but they have factory refurbished game systems that you can trade your broken system in for. I think the Game Cube is about $30.00 with your trade in, but you have to check. Isn't game cube basically a super nintendo? New at Electronics Boutique, we bought one for the grandson for $99.00 with 3 games in the bundle (do not know if they are age appropriate though), Donna will have to figure that one out.

birol, I will let you know.  Right now I have an outstanding bid ending in 6 hrs.  Thank you, though !!  Good idea about the electronics botique, too.  I will pay up to $30. total , but with e-bay you also have to take shipping into account.  That's where some sellers really make some $$$$.  You have to be really careful to check out the shipping amt.

Just for the unit (No power supply, or controllers and so on), shipping should be around 6 usd from here ...... Good luck with your bid.

You might try using e-snipe (//www.esnipe.com).  They will bid for you with seconds to spare.  e-Snipe acts as your agent and places your bid up to an amount you specify with 4-6 seconds left in the auction.  You can set up bid groups so that once one bid wins all remaining bids in your group are cancelled.  I think that it is free for the first two weeks.  I have gotten some pretty decent deals using the service.  Now I never place a bid with eBay directly unless it is using BuyIt Now.

Sorry Paula, but the Game Cube is a much more sophisticated system than the Super Nintendo.  The Super N. is 2 systems older than the Game Cube is.

I don't know about e.snipe.  I've used it once or twice, but now I just decide the max I want to pay and just enter that.  Like I said, with e-bay there are always new things coming up.  There are about 300+Nintendo's on auction right now!  I know I'll get one now
