Where can I find a mini SNES online to buy?

I can't seem to find anywhere online to buy an SNES. I don't want to buy one form ebay or any place like that. I was looking on amazon and I found this http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Video-Syste ... 801&sr=8-1
Would that work for the SNES portable? Where else could I buy a mini SNES?

That would work.

Suck it up and buy from Ebay though.

Haha, I might as a last resort. But are you sure it will work?

Yes, it will absolutely work.

In fact, there's a good bit of info about using the Retro Duo for JUST the SNES portion.

But seriously, Mini-Snes > Retro Duo.
Seriously.

Check these sites:

JJGames
Video Game Central
eStarland

I haven't bought from either but from what I've read they're pretty reputable.

Also if you buy from eBay check the seller rating and be wary of ripoff shipping. Buying from an eBay store is generally better.

something important is that if you use this - though it will work AND allow you to make a smaller SNES - it will not have perfect game compatibility. Also you'll be "more involved" in the making of the portable (as in researching information), because the book isn't designed for it. You judge if that's a good thing or not, IMO it is.

Ok, I guess just to make sure, I will buy a mini SNES for one of the sites XCVG listed.
