Buy Super Nintendo and games - you should pay attention to that
In 1992, the second Nintendo console was available for purchase. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is still popular today. You should find out what to look out for when buying used games and consoles here.
Keep your eyes open when buying a console
You can get the SNES consoles today on eBay, Amazon, eBay classifieds or recommerce providers such as reBuy or medimops.
- Make sure you buy from a dealer. Here the consoles are checked for functionality. You also have a right of withdrawal of two weeks. This allows you to test the console yourself at home.
- At retailers, you can be pretty sure that all cables for the console are included. The SNES includes the power cable and a Scart 3 cinch cable.
- Better refrain from buying consoles at the flea market. You buy the console blindly and cannot check its functionality. In the worst case, you come home and the Super Nintendo doesn't work.
- If you buy from private vendors, look around classified ads portals. Choose an offer from your area. Then you can pick up the goods yourself and test the console on site with the seller. If he doesn't want that, don't buy the console.
Buy games for Super Nintendo
Be careful about games too. Some of the games are over 20 years old. Here you should proceed exactly as when buying a console.
- Rather buy from the dealer where you have the right of withdrawal.
- Don't buy Super Nintendo Games at the flea market.
- If you buy privately through a classifieds provider, feel free to take your console with you to the seller to test the functionality of the game.
Spare parts for Super Nintendo still to buy
If the cinch cable or the controller is defective, you do not have to despair. You can even buy the cable or controller from Amazon or eBay. Of course, you no longer get the original controllers, but very good replicas that work wonderfully.
