One day at Goodwill I found a bunch of complete brand new looking nes games for $2.97 a peice including: Both Zelda I & II, Megaman II, and Burger Time. And just the other day, I found a loose EVO: The Search for Eden and Tetris Attack I picked up both of em for $7.50 each.

    Saterday I got an Xbox 360 for $39.99 at goodwill. It had a sign on it that said it didn't work. I bought it and it works perfectly.

    A couple of weeks ago I got a virtual boy in the box for $15 on craigslist. Oh yeah before that I got one with out the box and no foam eye sheild thingy for I think $3 at goodwill.

    A month or so ago I got Harvest Moon 64 for $2.99 at goodwill.

    Pretty much every gaming item I own I got for a deal somewhere because I am cheap.

    Hm.. Not sure if I've ever gotten anything overly amazing, but I have gotten:

    1. 30+ TG-16 games for around $30 back in the late 90's.
    2. Recently acquired a sealed De La Jet Set Radio. It wasnt incredibly cheap, but, I found one.
    3. Sega Game Gear back in the late 90's in a Toys'R'Us bargain bin for around.. $15? Games for around $2.

    At goodwill once I found a boxed Odyssey2 with a bunch of boxed games for $6. One of the games(Killer Bees!) was a rarer one.

    Just a few months ago I bought a box of video game stuff for $30 that included the following: A Sega Nomad, Game Gear with a few games, original gameboy, playstation, N64, SNES, Super Scope + cart, a bunch of genesis games, a few NES games, and a bunch of random controllers.

    I can only think of 1 other thing but it's not too spectacular and that was a boxed and complete Legend of Zelda for $4

    Let's see:

    1. A ton of PS1 RPGs including FFIX, Grandia, Lunar 2 complete, Castlevania: SoTN, Disgaea (PS2), Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (DC), Breath of Fire III and few other games for $30. Got it at an estate sale 2 summers ago. Something like $200 worth of games.

    2. Earthbound and the guide for $10. My first big find-- 3 years ago.

    3. Glib for 2600 (R7 in DP guide, R8 in Atariage guide) for $1. Got it at a flea market. Found 2 summers ago also, probably the best garage sale/flea market summer I've had.


    honorable mentions:

    A mint and boxed Bombsweeper Game & Watch for $1, found last summer at a garage sale. It's beautiful!

    FFVII (mint) for $0.50. Found at a garage sale a few years back.

    FFIII (SNES) for $10 at a flea market.

    Mint and boxed Final Fantasy for NES. $5 at an estate sale.

    Megaman 4, 5, 3, and Bubble Bobble for $12 total at Trader's village. ($10 for 4, 5, and Bubble Bobble and I went to the booth next door and proceeded to get Megaman 3 for $2).
    Check my auctions here! I am in the business of finding off-beat things, including video game stuff!
