Are you excited about the SNES Classic and want one?  Are you feeling a little skiddish and trying your best to suppress your hopes because you remember how the NES Classic Mini was handled?  Well, let's help each other out and try to agree to distribute what we find.  Here's how this will work.

This post is to assist us fellow NAers get what we want this time by helping one another out in securing one of these coveted puppies.  If you want to buy a SNES Mini at a reasonable rate then post your user ID below.  I'll keep an updated master list and come September we can use this list as a reference as to who wants/needs one of these.  But, here are the special rules that makes this viable.

TRANSACTION PROCESS
1. Look for SNES Classic Minis once it's released.
2. If you find one, buy it for yourself and PM me  post a message below simply stating "I have mine."  I'll take your name off of the list.
3. Find another one (or more) then work down the list of people who've not been crossed off and message them that you have a SNES Mini.
4. If they are able to pay for the item, sell the SNES Mini to them at cost (Sales Price + Taxes + Shipping)
5. BOTH Buyer AND Seller should PM me that the transaction has taken place so that I can update the list of buyers. SELLER: Please PM that the transaction has completed. BUYER: Please post a message on here stating "I have mine." so that you can be crossed off of the list.

This is an honor-system service because the idea is that we're all agreeing that it if we happen to find more than one SNES Mini, we're going to share our finds with fellow NA members.  I really want one of these but I suspect the same results as the NES Mini.  However, if I find two I'll gladly sell the other one at cost cause I'm a good guy.

Yes, people could game this a little.  For instance, someone could find 2x of these and not mention that.  Then, someone could contact them with one for sale at retail, which they could then buy.  Said individual would then have an additional two minis to scalp on Craigslist or eBay.  Yes, that would suck but at least as a community we're trying to do something to help one another out rather than just let everyone fight in the retail shark pits.

FURTHER RULES & TIPPING
1. If you can't buy a SNES Mini when someone offers you one, you're name can either be removed or cycled to the bottom of the list.  I know that September/November can be tight on everyone's budget but we need to keep things moving.  If you send someone a PM, offering a SNES Mini, and they do not respond in 48 hours, please let me know.  Move to the next person on the list.
2. NA Members who want to participate must have had an account created BEFORE this post.  The reason is because someone could come along, create multiple accounts and add themselves to the list multiple times.  Sock puppeting will not be tolerated. (Also, see ADDENDUM #1)
3. I'm not opposed to sellers working out trades.  Regardless, if a transaction takes place for a SNES Mini, please be kind enough to remove your name from the list.
4. TIPS are not required, but are recommended.  I'm going to set a soft-recommendation of a $5 tip for the seller.

The list of participants will be below on the second post.  I'm going to try and rarely edit this header, but additional notes and rule clarifications will be posted in the third post, below the list of participants.  Please skim these notes if you desire to participate.

MODS: If this isn't the right place for this post, please LOCK the topic and let me know where to post it.  I'll repost and link to this topic for full reference.

FURTHER NOTES AND ADDENDUMS

Note #1 - International Versions - (Jun-30-2017):
FYI, I didn't explicitly state this but I was originally thinking that this was for the US SNES Classics.  However, I also understand that there are plenty of international users who may want Super Famicoms and/or Canadian or PAL versions.

If you want as specific model other than the US version, please state the version you want.  Also, if you want US, Canadian, or any other variation, please state all models that you're potentially interested in.  The default assumption will be that you are only interested in the US version.  However, if you are interested in other regions, I'll put a note by your name stating the other variants you might be interested in.

Also, this doesn't mean that you are alloted multiple SNES Classics.  If you are interested in two different versions, as soon as you get one of the two your name should be crossed off the list.  I'm not trying to be a jerk about this but I am trying to set rules that are considerate to everyone.

NOTE #2 - Relavent Links - (Jun-30-2017)
 
Information and Retail Product Pages
Official Nintendo (NA) Page
Wal-Mart (US)
Best Buy Product Page (US)
Amazon Product Page (US)
Amazon Product Page (UK)
Nintendo Store (UK)
Game.co.uk Product Page (UK)
Play-Asia SNES Classic (US)
Play-Asia SNES Classic (PAL)
Play-Asia Super Famicom Classic (JAP)
ToysRUs Super Nintendo Classic (CAD)

NOTE #3

Reminder: Please read the distribution rules before offering one to someone on the list.  I need to know when someone accepts or turns down a SNES Classic.

We're getting close to the end of September and it's looking like this is going to be a hot item with a production limitation very-similar to the original NES Classic Mini.  I hope all game store's crystal balls are wrong, but there's a good chance these will be hear and gone as soon as they hit the shelves.

NOTE #4

In order to keep massive amounts of PMs out of my inbox, and for further transparency, I've modified the TRANSACTION PROCESS steps #2 and #5.  Simply put, if you acquire a SNES Classic Mini, please post a message here, rather than PM me.

Looking at the bre-launch numbers and gauging by early shipments, it seems this device will be far more accessible that the NES Classic Mini.  Hopefully this service will assist those with limited availability but most of us will be able to find these in the wild without assistance.  I'm raising my faith in that being the case to "Cautiously Optimistic."

ADDENDUM #1

I'm not interested in isolating truly interested parties who'd like to assist in this endevour, however, I think the rule stating that you must have been an NA member before the original post is still important.  With that said, I'm making a secondary list.  Anyone can be added to this list, however, realize the point is to essentially put any potential sockpuppet accounts, or those created with the purpose of exploiting this system at the bottom of the list.  List #1 takes first-priority.  If everyone gets their SNES Minis, but we'd still like to help out others, specially if some of these users become serious, good contributors in the coming months, they can be assisted and have a place in this thread too.

I'd love an opportunity to get a SNES classic from a NA member since I had zero luck buying a NES classic at retail cost.
