Probably the one time someone on CL was selling their Atari 2600 with a bunch of games and multiple controllers for $10. Under normal circumstances I wouldnt have gotten it since I never saw myself getting anything before the NES but the price was too good to pass up. However it got better as I was messaging the seller who then said before I was to pick it up that he would lower it to $5 to ultimately free. So what he wanted to sell he just decided before I was to pick it up to give it away. I drove a bits to get to the house where he left the box of stuff in his front porch, picked it up, sent a thank you text and was on my way. I do still have it with everything that was given but I would like to get rid of it since I dont see myself really using or needing tbh.

I've had quite a few over the years, but here are a few that standout:


-bought a stack of CIB PS1 games from a garage sale for $2 each. Included Ogre Battle, Valkyrie Profile, Ehrgiez, FF8, Hexen, and a handful of other games.


-bought an N64 lot at the flea market once that included an ice blue N64, and about 50 games for $50. Included Mario Party 3, Conker, both Banjo games, both Castlevania games, and pretty much all game included were all quality titles.


-used to go to a local used media store that sold all retro games (pre-7th gen) for $3 regardless of title. Found countless scores there over the years before they went out of business. Just to name a few; .Hack Quarentine (x2), Haunting Ground (x4 or 5), Operation Genesis (x2), Skies of Arcadia(both GC and DC versions), Winning Post, Mega Man X4 on Saturn, Saturn Bomberman, and Klonoa.


-found Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and FF3 on SNES all CIB for $100 total.

Just remembered more stuff, I go to the thrift store often and buy games for super cheap.  These games are usually not the greatest but have helped me fill out my Xbox 360 collection. (not on the website yet)  At some point I went to the store and instantly went to the game section and the first thing I saw was NBA Jam T.E. in the box with the manuals for $1 and it was half priced media day so $0.50.
