Counting collector's editions, it's probably my Ni no Kuni Wizard's Edition. I bought just the game at first and absolutely loved it, regretted not getting the CE. Then I saw that there were still some available for preorder on the German Amazon, and that those sets were completely in English (game & book). So I imported one for $109, shipped. It's worth at least double that now, not that I would ever part with it.

You are one lucky dude. Namco/Bandai really dropped the ball on North American gamers with this thing. They made it exclusive through their website, and even if you did preorder it, a ton of people had their preorders cancelled or just didn't get one because of issues with their distributor. Of course because of this they were going for like $400 for a while. They have calmed down in price and can now be had for around $200 used, but I'm still holding out for them to drop around $150. I preordered it at an indi game shop that somehow managed to get three in, however they pulled a huge bait and switch on me and decided that they were going to charge me $350 instead of the $100 MSRP. Last time I ever did business with those greedy POSes.

REEEAAALLLY late reply here. ;)

Man, that sucks - really sorry of them to do something like that. I don't blame you for not doing any more business with a place that's that shady.

The Wizard's Companion book is incredible. There was a ton of care and attention to detail put into it, from the aged-looking paper to the illustrations and scribbles in the margins. It's a very, very cool book and I'm super happy that I managed to grab one. I think the German CE was missing one thing that the US one had, a coin or something, but I don't care anything about that. The book was the #1 draw for me, and the Drippy plush was very cool as well.

My second, or possibly most expensive game is in the mail right now. I'm gonna die if it doesn't get here soon. The guy took three days just to mail it out!

Oh, oh~! What is it~?!

betelgeuse:
The most I paid for a used game is ~$250. I bought Bonk 3 complete on Ebay about 7 years ago.

I think the most expensive MSRP game I bought was the Beatles Rockband bundle.

Reckoning:
73$ on a loose copy of Chrono Trigger.

A friend had given me the box to here copy from when she was young, so I cursed at her for obligating me into spending money to put a game in that box (and then thanked her many times).

Now I just need the manual & other stuff that goes inside.

I prefer to find my games in the wild, but this weekend is Seattle Retro Gaming Expo. I may come back with a new most expensive, although I'd prefer to fill in the easy holes in my collection first.
