    Hmmm...

    1. Boxed Meteorites for Atari 5200, $1. I got the instructions years later off ebay.

    2. Atari 2600 with about 50 games, including Rubik's Cube and a few complete Sears games - $50. Thanks to TheSmirk for the heads up on this one.

    3. Original Odyssey, in the carrying case, complete. $10.

    I was very lucky to find a lot of good stuff before I even had a PC. Those days are over, unfortunately.

    1) Panzer Dragoon 1,2, and Saga
    2) Shenmue 2 (Pal)
    3) Earthbound

    This is a tough one for me. So many finds....

    Ok, best three in the wild.

    1. Best so far was my second arcade lot I picked up. 20 or so PCB's (3 pac-mans in there), about 40 marquees/artwork, A Soul Edge cab (dedicated Simpsons, restoring now),Enduro Racer, Blitz 2000, Upright Turbo Out Run, a Capcom Bowling, 720, and Total Carnage (Rampage conversion). All this was free. Probably a couple more cabs thrown in there, but I can't think of them right now.

    2. NES games at the Goodwill. Usually my local Goodwill has next to nothing. This time was different. picked up 75 or so boxed/complete NES games for $2 apiece. Among the gems are 2 Crystal Mines, all 3 Ultimas, 2 Final Fantasies, all 4 Dragon Warriors, Panic Restaurant, etc. No Stadium Events, but definitely some stuff well worth $2. I bought just about all of it. (I passed on the stuff with the really trashed boxes i.e SMB, John Elway QB, etc.). These boxed games have the original plastic wrap on them still, but all have been opened. Carts are in mint cond.

    3. Picked up (about 7 years ago) an Intelivision with 12 games all boxed/complete for $25. INTV has to be the cleanest one I have ever seen other than new. Control Discs aren't even worn yet, they're still gold. No real rares for the games, though. Still, the system in that shape alone is worth it.

    Close 2nd and third were Bubble Bobble 2 for $35, and almost a literal ton of Amiga stuff from a friend who moved out of state for free. Don't ask what's there, I haven't even had time to look yet (but it's a lot).

    NES Game Action Replay (loose, has battery though): $3

    I know that that's pretty rare... other things I'm pretty ignorant to rarity or value.

    My best finds were at going out of business sale about 5 years ago. Psychic Detective, Discworld 1 & 2, Braindead 13, and Silverload, and about 15 other random PS games all sealed. A whopping 25 bucks!!

    My boxed copy of Super Mario Bros.

    My boxed copy of Super Mario Bros. 2.

    My boxed copy of Super Mario Bros. 3.

    When lined up on the shelf they look awesome. It's great to have the trilogy.

    Surprisingly that is my greatest find in the wild. By which I mean not on eBay.

    My best 3 would have to be:

    1. Big cardboard box with a Gen model 1, 10 misc boxed and loose games and Genghis Khan 2 boxed in great shape, and Sorcerer's Kingdom boxed in great shape for $10.00 from a thrift store.

    2. A great condition complete copy of Pirates! Gold for the Gen for $5.00 from a co-worker.

    3. A Sega Game Gear with the Caesar's Palace cart and AC adapter for 50 cents at a yard sale.

    A Myriad 6-in-1 cart for the NES for $3. It has since left my hands and into the loving embrace of Jumpman Jr.

    A Vectrex for $5. Ironically, I had given in and ordered a Veccy from a forum member on Atari Age, but he had some family problems and wasn't able to refurb it and get it to me for a couple months. And while waiting, I found my own!

    A Milton Bradley Expansion System, otherwise known as an MBX, for the TI Home Computer for $30. Some reports I've read online state that as few as 300 were manufactured. It's a cool little voice synthesizer/voice recognition system. I'd always wanted one throughout the years, and I finally came across one complete in box at a booth at my local flea market last year.

    1. Nintendo Testing Kit- My father auctual found this. He threw it away without thinking about me. He had it in my half-brothers room and then the attic which barely has nothing in. He said it was taking up room. I played with it a lot during my earlier years in Jr. High when I visited where he was being a jigalo at the time. I just can't believe it's now in some dumpster being compacted the living daylights out of.

    2. CAESAR plus cart only- I found this at my local store while it was there. They would sell imports like crazy. Now it turned into another boring DVD rental place. I never even onced found a use for this until recently. Really Really cheap.

    3. ShadowRun cart only SNES- MY freind who I started to trade games with in the begining who brought me closer to the world of RPG games told me to get this game. It was really cheap at the time. Cheap Cheap also......

    I have so much stuff I have to get rid of.

    1 - Have to combine two games, since I got them at the same place... M.U.S.H.A. and Air Buster (reasonably rare) for $8
    2 - Have to combine four games for the same reason - Final Fantasy VII, Bionic Commando Elite Forces (Gameboy), Ultimate Soccer League (NES), and American Gladiators (SNES) for $20.
    3 - 12 Genesis games, system, TV and TV stand all for $50.
