Just curious, and this would affect the value somewhat...is this system just tab-modded (as in just the tabs cut from inside the cartridge slot) or is it hard-modded (as in someone actually went in there and wired up switches for region codes and 50 Hz/60 Hz)? A tab-modded system isn't worth any more than a normal SNES, I'm afraid ($30-$40 or so). A hard-modded system can net as much as $80+ to the right buyer. I nearly snagged jeffg's when he was selling his for $90, if that's any indicator.

It's hard modded. I don't know exactly how (since 90% of the consoles are already sold with modchips in Brazil) but the tabs are still on my console. Thanks for the info mb7241!! =)
My collection is a mess. I have:

Pirates:
 

Japanese originals:
 

American originals:
 

and the modded console runs perfectly all those carts. I also have Brazilian originals - but I guess Brazilian games also works on unmodded US, Mexico and Canada consoles.

Yeah... my SNES is just like that too.
It refuses to play SFA2 and plays pirates, japanese originals, american originals, PAL games.
I so want to get an unmodded one. x.x

Wow, nice set. I keep looking for one myself. The modding means nothing to me though.
