Nintendorepairshop.com sells refurbished ones for $70 which isn't too bad since they're tested and work. You can sometimes find cheap ones that people think are broken because the pins are ruined. It'll cost you $11 or so to replace those and it's pretty easy to do. If money is an issue though you might be better off with a clone system at least temporarily. You can find stuff like the Yobo FC pretty cheap or the FC Twin which plays SNES games too. More recently the FC 3 which also adds Genesis games.

If you don't have that luck you can try second hand stores, thrift stores, anyplace that sell older games. Some places I hear are good are Cash Converters, and Play N' Trade.

I bought mine with a copy of mario 3 and yoshis cookie for 5$ [for the bundle] - it was played by 2 girls about 3 times and then shoved in a closet so it's been in a sort of limbo for the past 15 years before I bought it. It's essentially a BRAND NEW NES! And I got it for 5 BUCKS!
