For me it has been 25 cents USD for a bunch of CIB sports games on the original Xbox circa 2017. I dont think Ive gotten anything cheaper than that.
Edit: that was 25 cents per title

Years ago I would find (non-sports)games at yard sales for 25 cents quite often. Even fairly recently I mentioned in the finds thread getting a few games at a yard sale for 25 cents. That's probably the lowest for buying single games.
Now if you're talking about buying in lots then I'm sure I've gotten things for next to nothing before, though I can't remember any exact numbers.

Here's a weird memory I will never forget:
My family once took a trip to Best Buy (back then the nearest was two cities away so it was always a major thing when we went there) and I went to their computer games--this being back when PC games came in big boxes, and in fact the game I'm about to mention should pinpoint the era.
Okay, so for some reason this Best Buy had copies of You Don't Know Jack Volume 2...
... For one cent. ONE CENT.
Brand new fully boxed copies.
My dad bought several, one for us, the rest to hand out to friends. (We probably should've kept a few as I'm sure the game goes for more than one cent online now). But still, it was a crazy deal, like up until actual checkout we were sure the price was gonna turn out to be a mistake, but nope, we literally payed a penny per copy.
Never really kept track - but way back when I could sometimes pick up a sega cd or saturn game for $1.99 or so - almost always for the case since they were generally crappy games.
More recently I picked up a copy of Brigandine for .99 - not pristine since there was a bit of water damage to the manual and the map was pretty worn on the folds - but they were still there.
I did pick up a working laserdisc player once for a dollar.
When I come home from a long day in Hell, there's nothing I'd rather reach for than a fire-brewed bottle of Styx Beer. Made from the filthiest waters from our own River Styx. Styx Beer is a third more toxic than any other regular beer. The worst beer - the filthiest beer - the deadliest beer. It's Styx Beer!
I got 63 video games for $17 at GameStop on March 2, 2008. They were a mix of Genesis, SNES, PS1, Dreamcast, and N64 games. I think they were clearing out some old inventory they had for a while.
Some of the games ended up being only 7 cents individually. That's a 49 cent price + 75% off + an additional 10% off because me and my mom were GameStop rewards members at the time.
Real collectors drive Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc... not Rolls Royces.
There was a thrift store that was open for a short time here around a year or so ago. I picked up about a half dozen NES carts, all in poor to very poor condition, for ¢50 each. Among them were SMB3, Legendary Wings, & Wrath of the Black Manta.
