How much is too much??
amauriel:
I've dropped $250 on a couple of consoles (the most retro being my TurboDuo, CIB) and have dropped $100 on a few things (my Japanese R.O.B., CIB, comes to mind since he's a recent addition) but I generally haven't paid more than $65-70 for most of my games. I enjoy finding new online shops and tend to do some major digging before I pull the trigger on a game. Also, I don't often do the CIB thing on games, so I can go cheaper. And I already had Earthbound, which I picked up new when my local department store clearanced them out ($25, about a year and a half after it was released).
The games I've spent the most on are probably E.V.O.: Search for Eden and Harvest Moon (SNES), and I think those were both $70.
climhazard:
The most I've payed for a used game was $60 for a cart only copy of Harvest Moon on the SNES but I would say my max price would probably be around $150 for a game if it was something I really wanted and had money to burn, which isn't very often.
varkias:
I paid $108 for a brand new copy of Phantasy Star IV back in 1993 when I was 11 with my paper route money. I would be willing to drop far more on a game if I was sure I could get most of my money back out if I wanted to. I do prefer to find most of my games locally but as we all know sometimes the internet is our only option.

Sadly that seems to be the way it goes for Saturn games. None of my local shops sell Saturn stuff, except once in a great while. The one store I go to has a copy of Iron Storm complete in great condition though. Been debating on picking it up.

@scott: Yep, same thing here in Utah. I've pretty much located all the stores that sell retro games and Saturn stuff is pretty rare.
