Not sure if it's the best deal I've gotten but most recently that sticks in my mind was I paid $13.49 for a copy of Virtua Fighter Remix Longbox Variant For Saturn from a clueless local game store. Felt extra good because they are the type of store that prices everything really high.

Also right before the quarantine I picked up a gamecube bundle for $40- came with a system, controller, cib zelda oot master quest, eternal darkness, zelda collectors edition, and a sealed?? copy of luigi's mansion. Didn't even know it was sealed till I got home haha. In terms of pure economic value especially now, that's the best margin I've gotten in a long while.

Closest thing that comes to mind for me is Jet Set Radio Future which I found for £1 at a charity shop - Mint condition. I know it's not the rarest game on planet earth but it was one I was really after for the OG Xbox and delighted to nab it up for next to nothing!

And one more good deal awhile back was I went to two Salvation Army's in one day and found like a dozen to twenty Dreamcast games.  Nothing in that was crazy pricey or anything, but I think I got them for like 2 bucks a piece or something.

I got most of my N64 games at a yard sale like that.  Ended up being like $2 a piece.  Nothing amazing, but some decent quality in there - Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie - but then the person went inside and pulled out one more game that they had, so I also got Super Mario RPG for $2.

I got a great deal on just about every game I own today, JJgames was king of my hype in gathering games for the greatest prices in my own opinion, shame they went out of business and closed their online warehouse right before the Covid19 came into effect. JJgames to my knowledge is currently not functioning.

(edit) looks like their coming back guys :)

But I can tell you finding NASCAR HEAT for the PS1 for $2.99 two US dollars and ninety nine cents at another source with all the enjoyment I've had from that one game alone, makes it a fantastic deal.

Not to sure

I've had my dollar finds for ps1 , such as suikoden 2 symphony of the night  klonoa etc etc or cib gameboy

People that mispriced holy grail items big time such as panzer dragoon saga or spuds adventure amazing tater cib

In more recent times I'd say 30$ for a top 10 nintendo store sign with keys. wich was filled with original store copied games including a rare box variant for certain commons.

If where talking favourite deals, it's either dozens of cib megadrive of cib snes games gba for real cheap while adding tons of games to the collection had quite a few of those.

Pretty much all of my deals I've found have been from thrift stores since I go to them almost every Monday (or at least I did until Covid-19 (I miss going to them)). My memory isn't the best but the ones that have stuck in my head is finding Mega Man 7 for $10, Mario All-Stars+World for $25, a Roulette board game by Nintendo from the mid 1960s for 50¢, Final Fantasy IX for $2, a Dreamcast and Modern Warfare 3 360 console for $2 each, and two GBA SP AGS-101s: one for $5 and the other for 50¢ at a garage sale.
