While I was attending Tech School, a student posted a sale of his C-64 disk collection of over 200 disks for $25. I jumped on the deal, and ended up with over 500 games, mostly hacks, but at least 20 or so were on published disks.

I found both my Famicom and a Super Famicom at Savers. A week or two ago I found a very yellowed but functional SNES in the garbage
Got a Model 2 Genesis with a broken but fixable RF cable (and who wans to use the RF-Signals anyways), some broken but fixable Infrared-controllers for the Genesis, two dirty but functional 3-button-controllers (just needed some cleaning), AND a working Model 1 Genesis (one with HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS) printed on, all for 11 Euros. (1 Euro on ebay plus 10 for shipping; the model 1 wasn't even mentioned in the description). The seller thought it was all a bunch of trash and sold it as nonfuntional, and I was the sole bidder...
Also, on two different occasions, I found a yellowed but fully functional SNES (2 controllers, plus Super Mario World and Star Fox) and a Japanese Model 1 Genesis on different attics and could keep them for nil.
#1: Last year, in 2010, at a local Shell gas station. I was only there to buy a soda, but then in the CD shelf, filled with a bunch of brand new music albums, something caught my eye... I found a sealed copy of Zelda's Adventure for the CD-i! Roughly $15!
#2: Also last year, I managed to get a PlayStation with two controllers for roughly $10 at a GameStop not too far away. I don't know about other countries, but here in Norway that's dirt cheap. And I love the PS1.
#3: While visiting a girl in the opposite part of the country, we stopped by a garage sale, where I managed to pick up Command & Conquer: Modern Warfare(contains C&C and C&C: RA), which I'd never before seen, in addition to a couple of other games at a rather nice price.
1. Got a sega Saturn with all hookups, Albert Odyssey, dragon force, 3 dirty dwarves, dark savior and 3 other cheap games for $20 at a pawn shop.
2. River city ransom Nes cart for $5 from a kid at my hs.
3. Three complete Atari lynxes with about 20 games for $25. Not really sure if the games are worth anything. Haven't researched it yet.

I don't know if Ebay counts, but I got a Sega Game Gear, 16 games and a nice, official carrying case to hold it all for $30 including shipping.
