Have you ever gotten a weird "bonus" buying games online?

I got some free herbal supplements with a game once. I think the seller just wanted to get rid of those samples.

So, I had more bonuses, this time from Goodwill in-store purchases rather than online (I really should not have put the "online" in the title at all)

Sometime last spring, I bought the game Timelapse--a Myst clone--and it came with the strategy guide.

Just now, I noticed they had a complete boxed copy of NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition (the one by Papyrus, not the crappy EA Sports ones) and when I looked in the box, it was indeed complete.... AND there was a copy of the ORIGINAL NASCAR Racing in there too!

I don't recall receiving any bonuses, but I have sent some.

2013 - Someone was just getting into the Saturn, and I had 2 copies of Panzer Dragoon (1 complete, and 1 disc only - may have bought it from McVans or something many moons ago. Heck, I don't know). Just for funsies, I threw in the disc-only Panzer Dragoon as a freebie. I knew it worked and it'd be a good game to tide this person over until he could get more Saturn games (and maybe a complete Panzer Dragoon).

January - I discovered just before Christmas my copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee was pretty much shot. It was throwing errors left and right in my Wii, and I was about to try to replace it when my husband reminded me we have a long-distance friend who can repair GameCube games. So we mailed Melee to him, and got a working disc back in about 10 days. I sent him Chrono Trigger DS as a thank-you gift.

Years ago, back when Yahoo Auctions still existed outside Asia, I purchased a Sega Saturn with a handful of games. Shortly before he shipped everything out I received a message from the seller informing me that he was going to throw in an additional game that he didn't include in the auction because he could never get it to work. Turned out to be a copy of The Raiden Project for PS1.
