My single greatest deal was finding a huge lot of N64 games (40+) along with an Ice Blue Console and Controller for $50 total. The lot has maybe 6 or 7 filler, throw away titles and the rest was quality, including Conkers, Mario Part 1 and 2, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Smash Bros, Banjo Tooie, and the list goes on and on. At the time I found it (2011), the lot was worth about $600. My first huge score was finding a stack of PS1 games at a garage sale for $2 each. Picked up Ogre Battle, Valkyrie Profile, Xenogears, Ehrgeiz, Final Fantasy VIII, and a handful of other awesome titles in that lot. I have a local store near where I live that is owned by Go Hastings, that also as I write this is going out of business after 5-years. I bring them up because over the years I have found some incredible titles there for only $3, the amount they price all games that are pre-PS3/360/Wii. Here are some of the incredible titles that I found there over the years for $3 a piece or less: - Ogre Battle 64, - .Hack Quarentine (x2) - Skies of Arcadia - Klonoa (PS1) - Jurassic Park Operation Genesis (XBOX and PS2 x2) - Haunting Grounds (x4) - Growlanser Generations Deluxe Edition - Winning Post (Saturn) - Saturn Bomberman - Mega Man X Collection (Gamecube) - Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 (Gamecube x2) - Buckey O'Hare - Countless other sought after and valuable games And the finally amazing deal I found was a garage sale I went to a few years ago where I battled a reseller with a spreadsheet over a ridiculous amount of Dreamcast, CIB NES and NES titles, and a variety of sought after Gamecube titles. While she was looking at her spreadsheet and trying to find the ones she wanted to sell, i was grabbing titles left and right that I knew I wanted. I ended up getting a bunch of valuable Dreamcast titles, a few good CIB NES games, a CIB SNES console, and few oldr player's guides all for around $30. |

It was before Ebay took off and people were literally throwing out retro games. Neo Geo AES complete with box for $100 Sega Master System Brand New $50 Atari 2600 games sealed - $1 each (tons of these) |

I found a copy of Ogre Battle 64 for $3 a few years ago at a start up gaming store. Either the guy in charge made the mistake of putting all N64 titles in the bargain bin, or he didn't realize what he had. As soon as I saw it priced for less than a pumpkin spice latte (it was during the fall season I found it and stopped into the game store before going to get my basic white girl beverage) I threw my morals of having both the box and manual out the window because I knew I would never find something for that price again. |
