    Do not remember the exact cost, but whatever the cost of SW:EP1 Podracer for N64 was new.

    I think I paid $120 for Steel Battalion with the controller if that counts.

    Otherwise its $85 for Dungeons & Dragons Collection imported when it was new. Paid a similar price for the Saturn Street Fighter vs. games too.

    Where do you get your games? That is a good deal.

    I just overpaid for a copy of Resident Evil 2 for the Dreamcast (complete) - $32.34. I overpaid but it was worth every penny, one of my all-time favorites.

    For my 8 bit collection Ant Eater by Romox set me back 65.00 (61+4 shipping ). Everything else was 2.00 or less.

    I really haven't ever spent much on a single game. My Millipede arcade cab set me back $250 but that has been the most expensive single thing by far. I don't think I have spent more than $20 on anything that wasn't a new release.

    For arcade cabinets, I paid $1000 for my 4 player Sunset Riders, $500 each for Time Soldiers and a Centipede cabaret, $250 for a pristine Popeye, and $150 for my 1-slot MVS set up as a dedicated Metal Slug.

    For console, I paid $400 for my limited edition Mother 3 box with the GB Micro and Franklin Badge, and $165 for Top Hunter on AES. A couple of other AES games hit a little over $100... Sengoku 2 & 3 both did, and I feel I overpaid for Radiant Silvergun at $150 on Saturn.

    How is that even possible? Have you ever bought a new game in your life (the majority which are over $50)?

    A local electronics store sells used DVD movies and video games. From time to time someone will drop in and sell older titles, some of which are hard to find around here. I love FF II. I don't regret paying the price I did. It had the box and manual also.

    It is fun. I ended up with it because my wife's uncle had a bit to drink at a charity auction, and then hus wife said no. I helped him get his money back and a little more, and I got a great cabinet. Mother's Day 2013, actually. Good times.

    My copy of Earthbound was $125 IIRC in December 2011.

    Plumbers Don't Wear Ties was $75, shipped July 20, 2011.

    IIRC it was around $225 for the us laseractive release of Blue Chicago Blues.
    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!

    IIRC around $100-$125 for a complete Suikoden II. Back when I had more disposable income I was willing to nab $60+ PS1 and PS2 games without any real struggle if they came from good sources and were slightly nicer than the rest of the baying pack.

    I'm surprised I never posted in this topic.

    Thankfully, my most expensive haven't changed in well over a decade. I don't think I've ever spent more than $100 for a standard game release. Back when the SNES was still alive, I dropped $80 apiece for Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and Kirby Super Star (and the cashier remarked that Kirby Super Star was a really good deal because it advertised "8 games in one!" haha). When I imported Star Ocean 3 when it first came out in Japan, that was $90-something, I believe, though that came with a few bonus preorder items.

    When I include LEs, then my highest is the Japanese Valkyrie Profile 2 Artifact Box, which set me back around $225. I got skunked on that one because I had preordered it on NCSX for $150, but when it came out, they sent me an email saying their supplier was gouging them, so if I still wanted it, it would be twice as much. I said eff that, despite how strongly I wanted it, and I was able to get it for said $225 on eBay a few months later. The kicker is that I had originally preordered it on Play-Asia for just slightly more than $150, and if I had stuck with them, I would've had no problems. The Japanese LE for the first Valkyrie Profile was also pricey at $200. I got that years past its release, and the one I bought was the first ever I saw on eBay. The guy selling it had it way overpriced, so he acted like I was really lowballing him when I offered $200, but he accepted my offer anyway. I probably should have just waited, as more popped up on eBay over the years, and these days you could probably get one for around half what I paid.

    Despite overpaying a little at times, I can't complain. I've gotten a lot of good deals. Like, you would think the two copies of Rondo of Blood for PC Engine I've bought would be among my most expensive, but I managed to get each for around $70. When I sold one, I got double back, so I effectively got my Rondo for free.

    Bought a Ninja Gaiden arcade cabinet for $50 if that counts. I rarely buy new games and rarely pay more than $5 for a used game...maybe $10 if it's something I really want.

    I think I paid $250 for a CIB Tails Adventure for Game Gear then sold my sealed one to the second highest bidder against me of my open copy for $360. I think I bought the sealed copy on here for $150 or $200. I forget. It pays to leave sealed games sealed then sell them for more to buy an already open copy and other games with the profit IMO. I think Crusader of Centy for Genesis might have been $200 cart only too. So that's probably my runner up. If I love a game so much that I take the time to 100% it even though it's long, I feel like I've gotta have it no matter what. Unless it's just some short game that's really rare and I feel like it's not worth the money for the experience I had. Example - Bonk's Adventure for NES? That's not a $450 experience to me, especially when it's just a downport of an $18 TurboGrafx-16 title.
