I really need to get around to buying a SNES. I have an NES as well but it’s dead. eBay the best spot to get either of these consoles?

If you have the money for it and really want to go hardcore into the scene, you might look into an FPGA like the Super-nt. They typically aren't like all of those emulation boxes out there, compatible with real SNES cartridges and accessories but don't have to worry about the issues with aging hardware and works mostly native with modern TVs/etc. It's very expensive, but it's also definitely very cool.
