So, if I'm gonna buy a supposedly "New, never used" SNES for $700 it better be:
1)NOT opened. The box better be sealed.
2)Not come with a BS disclaimer that say, "NOTE: THE COLOR OF THIS SYSTEM IS CREAM. IS NOT BLEACH, DISCOLORED, NOR FADED. SNES SYSTEMS NOT ONLY CAME IN THE COMMON GREY COLOR, THERE IS ALSO BLACK AND CREAM."
I've seen hundreds of SNES. NONE of them came in black or cream.
Someone needs to tell this guy that his system isn't new and came from the first batch of plastic prone to discolouring.
I really hate douchebags like this.

Yeah, that's a super ugly "cream".

Re: ...Yet another misleading eBay Seller
I can't stand it when they list as "brand new", only to show you pics with the styrofoam pulled out of the box. It's like those the listings for games that say "brand new, but shrinkwrap is missing". Sellers think they are crafty, but collectors aren't morons when it comes to this stuff.
I have a hard time believing that particular SNES was never played.

Epic fail: Cream

I asked the seller a question in regards to the massive stupidity of the whole thing.

When he responds, if ever, I will post what he says. (I'm thinking a poor photoshop or a black painted SNES)Never in all my years as a collector of video games, have I ever heard of a black or cream colored Super Nintendo. If you can give me proof of such a thing, such as a picture of a black console, I would seriously consider purchasing this system. (A side by side comparison of two consoles does not constitute as proof, but a picture of different packaging would.

My Snes from 1995 has better color than that rip off! I've been playing for over ten years and it hasn't even started to yellow. Plus it ain't new if its not sealed. It can look "just like" new but that isn't new, not to mention the fucking ridiculous price... Cream and black that made me laugh.

Re: ...Yet another misleading eBay Seller
Were those system boxes shrink wrapped any way? My Wii, PS3 and PS2 were not. And although I can't really remember that far back, both my SNES system boxes were not shrink wrapped.
I bet that system is NOT new. Being that the system boxes are not shrink wrapped, it's just a matter of saving EVERYTHING from the original box. Hell, I can put up my PS3, PS2, Wii, and N64 as 'brand new' if that be the case.

Re: ...Yet another misleading eBay Seller
Yes. I've owned pretty much every console and handheld over the last 25+ years and not one of them had shrinkwrap on them, rather a "security" seal or some kind of tape on the flaps.
Re: ...Yet another misleading eBay Seller
Yeah, that is either a 3 tone system or hes lying 
SNES thats black? Whoa, where? lemme check google just to double check my history remembrance..... Nope. The only black ones I've ever seen were those FC Turbo things that play NES games also.
Seriously ppl, look at the hub around the cart slot, then look at the rest of the system. Don't games normally fade due to dust/sun exposure, but idk if i believe that it can do that inside the plastic like that.
Beside the point, he shouldn't lie about the "different colours" just fess up and say, its brand new and due to age it's faded, even sitting in the box. It would be more believable to people actually willing to look at it for that price range. It's insulting to our intelligences, and I hope noone buys it.
