No BS allowed: Your 'unbelievable' deals (legal version)

[brandver3]

I have a few good ones.

California Raisians prototype for free. (The story is in "proto" forum)

Shining Force CD for ten bucks. My friend worked at a game store that didn't take Sega CD, so he bought Lunar for 5 bucks and passed up SF CD for Sonic CD. So the next day I go to this mom and pop game store and the kid brought his other 3 games there. Popful Mall, another working designs RPG, and Shining Force CD.
Being broke i could only get SF CD, but ten bucks ain't bad. I still cant believe he picked Sonic.

Panzer Dragoon 2 (its not saga but what the hey) complete for $5 bucks.

Puzzle Fighter for PSX for $15.99 (gamestop, they re adjusted the price and its now at $39.99)

Final Fight Guy for $10

NES: Silent Assult, G.I.Joe (Taxen) and TMNT Tournament Fighter for $10.

Vectrex (3 games no controler) for $15

Complete Syd of Valis and Sword of Vermillion (with hint book) for free.

Shining Force for Game Gear for $5.

Thats all I got.

Lets see here...

A few weeks ago I got a Famicom clone complete + 18 games for $30. I got a Spiritual Warfare prototype for my birthday. I found Tengen Tetris loose in August for $7. $30 got me a sealed Trolls on Treasure Island with the troll. Menace Beach complete for $2 from Babbages.

I believe that that's it for now.

I don't really hunt too much for old games.. but when I DO find them I snatch em up as quick as shit. The last pretty good find I got was at a used bookstore. hey were having a 20% off everything in the store day. I was browsing around and saw some Sega Saturn games.. Dragon Force, Panzer Dragoon, Mystaria.. and something else (i forget.. i'd have to get out of the chair here to check . But they were all around 4 bucks! Take away that 20% and I had a pretty good deal.

Other than that I scored a 2600 Konami Pooyan at Goodwill for 1.99 and a additional 2600 and a complete colecovision for 7 bucks each.

Actually these aren't really "great" finds. They're more "recent" finds. Most of my really cool stuff I payed full price for :/

[GENESISNES]

i asked my mom to ask her coworkers about gaming stuff they might have, and i scored a complete challenge set, another NES system along with that, 6 or 7 NES games, A sega genesis, and an SNES. All for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[DarkSoul]

Aside from a few complete (but not particularly rare) INTV games for $1.99, my bests would be:

1) (INTV) Dig Dug, Commando, and Diner NIB (and probably more, but those are the 'pricey' ones that I remember for sure came from this batch) for $5 or less in Toys R Us bargain bins, about the time that they were clearing them all out of stock, 'back in the day...

2) My first arcade cabinet- a unnnamed cocktail breakout machine. Not particularly amazing in terms of gameplay (but c'mon, it's good simple fun), but quite a good price at $20 from the Salvation Army

What kind of a store gets TWO copies of Radiant Silvergun in, and doesn't know what they are??? Damnit, I wish I had a store like that near me!

That particular store has dried up. It's too bad...last year, they were getting rid of so much Saturn stuff to make way for the new systems. Picked up a japanese Saturn steering wheel and 2 saturn multitaps for $5 apiece, as well. That was a once in a lifetime score...it's all downhill from there.

Picked up a mint boxed Genesis, Sega CD, and 32x and a dozen games for $20 from some guy in the parking lot at the local funcoland when he found out they wouldn't buy them.

[Achika]

After working at Funcoland for nearly 3 years, I've walked away with many bags of free stuff...customer abanonments, boxes, books, etc. we don't take, store displays and much else. Plus I've let my friends know that I collect, so I've walked away with free gifts from them as well. Here are some I can recall shorthand:

Free Box of about 100-150 Colecovision & Atari 2600 games including: Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes, Dishaster, Lost Luggage

Free complete 32X (less box)

$2 for London Blitz at flea
$1 for Super 3D Noah's Arc through Funco
$10 boxed, complete R.O.B. through Funco

Xbox Live display & Playstation Neon sign for free a few weeks ago (before I left Funco)

$15 last week for a sealed Mickey's Castle of Illusion for SMS
$5 last week for a sealed copy of Spirit of Speed for DC

Got ALL of these (60 total, including some not pictured) for FREE! All I had to pay was the fees to have them brought home on a semi ($500). I ended up selling a few to pay for fixing the rest, and sold the remaining ones for $10,000.00 US. Still got TONS of parts (26 boxes) plus marquees, side art, control panels, PCB boards, and about 300 manuals left too.

It's hard to follow that one but here goes. The following are in Canadian Dollars

Snatcher = $7
Action 52 = $2
Klonoa PS1 = $10
Atari 2600 and 50 games = $10
Mega Man X3 mint = $9.99
Dracula X mint = $9.99
Supper Puzzle Fighter 2 = $19.99

The joy of being one of very few collectors in my area = priceless


There are tons of others but these are the ones that stand out above the others.

C64 Satan cartridge (go look it up in DP guide#7!).... Aus$5!

[ManekiNeko]

I've got a deal that seemed too good to be true. One day I walked into my local pawn shop, started hunting around for games, and came across an AMAZING Saturn package including several very rare titles... Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III, Dragon Force... if it was an obscure RPG it was probably in there. The best part is that the whole shebang cost me just sixty dollars. You'd better believe I was excited.
