    These are all from a long time ago, around the time the Sega Saturn was dying but here goes:
    AD&D Collection (SS) $13
    Panzer Dragoon Saga, mint complete: $8. Yes eight.
    Saturn Bomberman (complete) $5
    In fact I own over 150 and the average price I have paid is about $20 apiece. Not bad considering my library of SS titles (about 95 US titles, rest imports)
    Pirates! Gold mint complete $5
    Bubble Bobble 2 $4.50 cart only
    As for bundles of stuff:
    TurboDuo system with 25 games, including neutopia 1/2, Blazing Lazers, Super Star Soldier, Soldier Blade, too many other greats too list for $200
    Panasonic Gamecube boxed mint with powerswitch mod $200
    JVC X'Eye with 45 complete games, including Snatcher, all 4 Working Design games, Shining Force CD, list goes on... $150!
    And last but not least, A top loader nes and 100 games for $150. I sold a few of the games and ended up making about $100 for a total cost of $50!

    Alas I also once unknowingly passed on a unopened copy of Keio Flying Squadron for the SCD for $5 because a friend talked me out of it, saying he had played it and it sucked. I bought Earthworm Jim SE instead. I could kill him to this day although this was probably 5 years ago.

    I haven't had really any mindblowing finds just yet, but here goes:

    1) Suikoden II (Sealed)- $ 9.99 at Virgin Megastore. Back in like 2002 or 2003 I believe.

    2) Suikoden I (Sealed)- $ 9.99 at Sears. Around the same time I got the above mentioned gem.

    3) Hmmm, i dunno, I guess this decent Genesis bundle I got off my friend for like 20 bucks. Genesis system (first model), 2 controllers, and like 10 or so games.

    Although I don't have anything really special like Prototypes or Turnament carts, finding great classics I enjoy are my best finds.

    #1: Galactic Attack (Saturn)
    An awesome shooter I had been hyped to get for a long time. It ended up costing me $8 to buy at a local used game store and loved it as much as the screen shots I drooled over. Instant classic and supurb game in my collection.

    #2: Paper Mario (Nintendo64)
    Got it for $8 at a pawn shop and was SO happy to see it. I had always wanted to get it and check it out since I saw people playing the second one for the Gamecube. Although I only played a few hours worth I'm sure one day I'll dedicate time to go all the way.

    #3: Prince of Persia 2 (Super Nintendo)
    For a special price of $2, this decently rare game got baught and placed in my collection. I love the Prince of Persia games because of the puzzles and time limits. Finding this made me so happy because I already had the first for the SNES.

    There's plenty of other games in my collection but these 3 games were the first to hit my mind as great finds personally. I guess it's also great they aren't SUPER amazing finds compaired to others on the forum so I have plenty of room to still shoot for the moon and find something nice.

    1) A PS1 with 14 games and a boxed analogue joystick for £7. It turned out two of the games were worth a £9 trade in each at Gamestation. I don't really collect PS1 games, so I traded in the console and 8 games for £35.

    2) A Megadrive 1 with 9 games for £10. It turned out the console didn't work but I opened it up and wiggled some stuff, not knowing what I was doing. I managed to make it work enough to trade it in for £9. Then I sold two of the games for £2 each. So I got 7 games and £3.

    3) I haven't had many great finds so my 3rd one is a bit so-so. I got a boxed clear blue GBA with a light, battery pack and charger for £8. I was pleased with it, especially considering Gamestation is selling the same style, boxed, for £35.

    1. Bought a fully functional Sega Nomad for $50 from one of our customers (I'm the web/ebay guy at a comic book store). It's in primo condition too!

    2. Found a Half Price Books with a HUGE stock of Sega CD games. Nothing super rare (no Snatchers, Keios, or anything like that), but what they had was super clean with unbroken cases. Yes, I bought them all.

    3.Randomly walked into an EB and found Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy III, carts only. They were averagely priced. I couldn't pass them up of course.

    Runner up:
    We're selling a pachinko machine for $100. I really want this badboy. It's in superb condition; everything works great to boot. Hmmm....

    I've had tons of great finds in the wild and it's hard to keep track of them all.

    However, this year, my best finds have been:

    1. Top loading NES at flea market $5.00 ( I also scored one at an estate auction last year for $6.00)

    2. Dragon Warrior 2 for NES for $1.00 (Goodwill)

    3. Super Mario RPG for SNES for $1.00 (Goodwill)

    Runner-up- Burning Rangers for Sega Saturn for $5.00 during their last 5 for $15 sale. I believe that was last fall. September, maybe?
    3,582 games and counting! Pics of tons of stuff!

    2 copies of Metal Warriors(SNES) for 10.
    1 copy of Metal Marines(SNES) for 10.
    New Horizons(SNES) for 10.
    Ardy Lightfoot(SNES) and Spike McFang(SNES) for 5 each.
    One Piece Mansion(PSX) for 2.99.

    I saw One Piece for $30 at SWAPUSA and talked to the sales man about it. He really wanted it and I told him that I had gotten a copy for $3. He was wowed but I just pick up cheap PSX games all the time to see if they're ny good. At 3 bucks you can't go wrong.

    Yup, I got this game for a trade at the flea market, and it was the only time I ever spotted POP2... never saw it on eBay. Couple weeks later I traded the same vendor to get POP1.

    As for my top 3 finds in the wild....

    1. Aero Fighters
    Traded a vendor 4 crappy fighting game VHS movies I couldn't paid to get anyone to buy online. Oh my God I couldn't believe the steal I got.

    2. Metal Warriors
    Trade for crappy doubles

    3. Gem Fire
    ditto!
