I've been looking to get a SNES console box, but I don't really know how much they are worth.  I found one on ebay that looks in really good condition and comes with a Super Game Boy box as well..

http://cgi.ebay.com/1995-...tegoryZ3605QQcmdZViewItem

Does that seem like a good deal?  Or what do console boxes usually go for?

I don't know, $15 bucks for 2 boxes? they look to be in good shape but chances are you might stumble on one at a thrift or garage sale for that price with the SNES inside of it.

I guess it depends on how quickly you want it.

I paid 10 bucks from my SNES box when I was at a swap meet on Kentucky. When I asked the lady if she would sell me just the box she had a very odd look on her face.  laugh

But after I bought that one I got one for free :-/ Oh well Capt Nintendo know has that box in his collection.

Hey Dan has that box.
His is uglier though.
And the box is torn and such.

You might be better off to get ahold of the seller and ask it relisted as a auction.
You will def get a better price then.

On a side note i picked up my Donkey Kong Set SNES box for 1 or 2$ i found it in the basement of a local shop.
