    Kinda sad when compared to some of the finds in here, but I picked up two Game Boy Pocket units (each with a game in the back of them: Star Wars and I can't remember the other game) for a grand total of four bucks at Goodwill. They were each marked at four, but they rang up as two bucks apiece.

    I gotta bunch of NES stuff on eBay for $55 once. Complete and mint Deluxe Set with robot and about 20 complete and mint games (good ones), game genie, wireless controllers new, some magazines. I sold one of the games for 65 (Castlevania) and kept the rest of the stuff. I was shocked the game went for that much too, but it was real mint, I think a member from these boards bought it.

    The first thing that comes to mind is a lot of 20 SNES and PS1 games (all CIB) that I paid $100 for. Included was Chrono Trigger, FF7, FF3, and more goodies.

    5 factory sealed copies of Castlevania: Syphony of the Night at Sears for 99 cents each. This sale happened about a year before they closed down.

    A few that I can think of off the top of my head:

    Sega Saturn (Loose, no accessories) - Free, sitting out for the garbage. I found it while out jogging and had to run a couple miles back with it in hand. Had Rise of the Robots 2 inside of it.

    Pilotwings & F-Zero (SNES - New/sealed, non-GH) - Found these at a garage sale marked at $5 each, I offered her $6 for both and the deal was done. Her son was jealous that I still had an SNES at home.

    JVC X'Eye (Complete, no box) - While picking up a 3do bundle that I won on ebay, the seller asked if I wanted to see some other things he had for sale...I offered him $30-$35 for the X'eye set and we had a deal.

    2 Xboxes - While at a swapmeet I traded two sealed N-gage games (that I had paid $3 each for) for 2 Xboxes that needed work. I was able to use parts from each to cobble together a working xbox that I modded and is now our upstairs media center. Speaking of which...

    Various sealed Ngage games - $3 each & new Ngage QD for $49.99. It's still my primary cell phone, but it doesn't play games anymore for some reason, but the sealed games seem to be attracting increased interest by collectors.

    NES (With 2 controllers) - $8 at my local Half Price Books. It doesn't even blink with clean games.

    Starcraft 64 x2, Paper Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Dr. Mario 64 - Picked these up for $3.99 each at a Gamecrazy during one of their earlier classic plastic sales.

    Intv System 3 and 15 loose games - $5 at a garage sale.

    Finally, it may not be the absolute greatest deal but I'm still very proud of it:

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Arcade) - Had some easily fixable problems with some buttons but otherwise in really good shape, $250 at a local auction. Found a Jamma compatible 1066-in-1 set on Craigslist for $180 (normally about $300) and was able to keep the UMK3 board in the cabinet for swapping - so 1067 game arcade for $430 total.
