    I grabbed Tooth Protectors off of a friend with around 10 other Atari 2600 carts for around $10 total. I found Tengen Tetris in a GS for $7. I also grabbed several complete AVE NES games (Krazy Kreatures, Venice Beach Volleyball, etc) at a Game Stop for $3 or $4 each.

    The sources have dried up around here though, unfortunately.

    The rarest game that I've bought in the wild was Chavez II for the SNES, which is an R8. I've seen Robocop 3 for the Master System, which is an R9 though, but I didn't buy it since I was out of money. :/

    I haven't been at it that long, and recently I've had a break from thrifting; so far I've found Dungeon Explorer's CASE (DOH), and then had a great day where I found a ton of Genesis games including Herzog Zwei :)

    Ultima: Quest of the Avatar for NES was another find.

    Nothing special for me so far.

    I used to collect mostly SNES, but I've recently switched over to Genny and PSX...

    SNES:
    Adventures of Kid Kleets (R7) EB, $5
    Bebe's Kids (R7) Complete, indie store, $5
    Kirby's Dreamland 3 (R5) EB, $20
    Pac-in-Time (R6) EB, $6
    Pocky & Rocky 2 (R6) Indie store, $10
    Q*Bert 3 (R5) Indie store, $15
    SimAnt (R6) Free from a friend.

    Genesis:
    Crusader of Centy (R6) complete from an indie store, $10
    Gaiares (R5) complete from someone at the CGE2K4 swap meet room, about $10 considering the other games I grabbed. Still pissed that someone else grabbed Atomic Robo-Kid as I was reaching for it, though.

    PSX:
    Carnage Heart (R5) $30 without one of the manuals but I really wanted this game anyway.
    Intelligent Qube (R5) Free, no manual though.
    Team Buddies (R8 $25 by my printed guide, R7 $40 last I checked online...)...$12 complete at Gamestop. Fun game, too.

    Also found a complete copy of Phantasy Star Collection (J, Saturn) at a local shop a while back...paid a pretty penny for it and I was neither a collector nor a Saturn owner at the time.

    I've found 3 Flintstones: Surprise at Dino Peak over the last year. The three cost me a total of $11 bucks and all were in great shape. I've also found 4 Suikoden 2's, three of which were in mint shape, one with some water damage to the manual. Found a complete Blackjack and Solitaire for the NES for 20 bucks. Had many other great finds, some of which were more valuable, but none as rare as those.

    We saved some guy's life. Killed some vicious murdering lichs and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.
