Sorry for the delay in posting this, I meant to do this a couple days ago but gaming and watching DVDs got in my way. I had to shorten the list a bit cause it wouldn't let me post all the nominations (Added myself too- how often are you given a PS2 and about 20 games?)
This poll will run for 7 days.

:o A nwc caart for $5 your lucky if you can get one for $1000. I think that wins hands down.

For sheer cash value Kaine23 wins by a long shot I mean 20 games is worth 1,000 Plus 200 for the system...

In pure cash value, the NWC cart is worth a ton more than the PS2. The most expensive used games for PS2 go for 50 (Rez), so at max, you're talking 1200. An NWC grey would sell for a G and a half even in average condition.

I had gotten the PS2 and games from a friend during DP Survivor. I think if you dig hard enough you can find the list of games I got. I kept maybe half them, including all the FF titles- eventually sold them off and got Robotech: Battlecry too.

it also wins in pure rarity value. rarity means more to me than cash value, i would rather find 2 stadium events for a quarter than 100 ps2 games for free.

I would vote for both anotherfluke and starblazer.

#1. I thought Nate got the games for a quarter each, not 25 cents total?
#2. It's Aswald, not Asward.
#3. I can't even believe you'd put yourself in the running for this, compared to the other "finds". Yours wasn't a find at all.. Yours would make me say, "hey, cool", while the others are more in the "Holy SHIT" range.

So I guess the 10 free sealed Atari BMX I got don't count? Looks like I wasted my 5-finger dicount :D LOL LOL LOL
Seriously, it's close between that $5 NWC and $0.25 Stadium Event as both are quite rare and insane bargain.

A "find" must also be guaged on how often it pops up.. I could go buy 20 PS2's and 100 games tomorrow if i wanted.
In fact that can't even be called a "find", I can find tons of PS2 stuff just by going to Wal-Mart.
Got to go with the NWC cart for $5.. because even 2 Stadium Events won't bring the capital that NWC cart would bring if put on Ebay.
I give Anutherfluke 2nd though..
And 3rd would be Goodwill Hunter and the cool ass Atari game switch display thingy. Just because it's f'n cool and a hard "find".
free PS2 lol :roll:

Yeah, I saw the PS2 "find" in there and immediately thought WHAT IS *THAT* DOING THERE? Glad I'm not alone on that one. People giving you things isn't a "find" at all.
That out of the way, I choose the NWC find. The Stadium Events find is awesome but think about how many NWC carts were even made... to FIND one is simply miraculous.
I agree that the NWC cart is a better find, but here's a different way of looking at it: $5 is about 0.2% of the going value of an NWC cart, while $0.25 is less than 0.1% of Stadium Events' value.
My vote goes to anotherfluke, not because of my calculations, but because of all the other great stuff he got along with the 2 Stadium Events carts. I still consider that part of the same "find".

But look at it like this, Even if the SE carts were $5 each, he wouldn't pass it up, nor would it make the find any less fantastic.

That's a good point about the Stadium Events find. Wouldn't the wireless controllers be even rarer and potentially more valuable that the Stadium Events itself? I forgot to consider the other items when I voted.
