Domasaurus | 4 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Super NT is a Beaut, Picked up a Classic this round. Just a heads up to anyone purchasing in Canada Price disclaimer ahead: $49.99 USD shipping, an additional $42.25 CAD duty cost on Shipping (To Ontario). $189.99 USD for the unit + $49.99 USD Shipping + applicable taxes + $42.25 CAD Duties = $352.53 CAD after conversion. + any controllers and other accessories you may need (SD CARD, 8BitDo Controller, Snes Carts, FX PAK Pro) You could be looking upwards of $650 or more CAD depending how deep you want to dive, but keep in mind other alternatives like HD Retrovision cables ($89.99 CAD) with a Gcomp or even just a component switch from amazon may be cheaper if you are planning on buying ALL of the analogue consoles from the USA. Price these things out forsure before you buy. To be clear; I didn't mind paying this. I really wanted one and the price didn't bother me. However I can totally see this being a blindside hit to someone with a trigger finger for impulsivity. So be that as it may, it is definitley an amazing console, and looks fantastic and is worth the price, but Canadian purchasers you will be paying a pretty penny for it. Figured I would break it down to an approximate for potential buyers, as I couldn't find any approximates on duties before I purchased one (again I'm not complaining about the price ). Happy Gaming!

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Got my Super NT snes classic style today, already updated it with the newest firmware and played a little and it was fun. Also prepped the black one with its 7.0JB installed to it to go out when I decide to move it. Popped it all back as it was in the original box, then in the shipping box my replacement came in.

I got $325 for my leftover SF version. No controller or box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a controller either, it was garbage. I've got all the box, the little box for the plug/cables in there with the little flip manual too, and then as said, the still flat super turrican box they did in the black envelope. For now it sits until I decide, when and where. Money is nice, but could make for some interesting trade bait too. I could see it as a Super Nt for someones cash + SF2CE replicade trade or something of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Mine was supposed to come today, but it skipped past Missouri and went straight to Illinois instead for some reason, where it's been for the past 2 days, and now the estimated delivery date says pending so I dunno what the heck Fedex is doing with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Maybe they handed it off to the USPS Sounds like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khromak | 768 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 My super NT came in today. Surprisingly heavy considering how small and plastic it is. Feels similar in density to the nt mini noir despite not being made of metal. Played a little bit of super turrican, I might have to give that game some time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Update on mine, while it is still hanging out in Illinois, the estimated delivery date has been updated to the 25th, so fingers crossed it gets here this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvertov | 207 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 All right, this thing is rad. Can’t wait to get some RGB cables and see what it looks like on my Trinitron. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did the same thing on the way to STL but was finally delivered yesterday afternoon. Maybe they were carpooling?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( beyond 2021 anyway ) I think probably pre-orders in 2022, shipping in 2023. They are so far behind on the Pocket and accessories, I don't see how they could possibly finalize anything with the Duo any time soon. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to pay $100 over retail on ebay, even though that's better than the $400+ they were going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Yeah now isn't the time to dump it. So many are it will depress the price due to a lot being floated. Before when it was dried up they got higher and higher. Try selling one closer to Christmas, that'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to give in, but I don't want to pay almost $100 over retail since they would probably restock right after I bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be strong! They will restock. They need that boost of capital every 6 months or so during their dry seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
