A few weeks ago...

For 50 cents!
*Sealed* copy of Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Version, and, at the same sale...

For $1.00 more, I bought:

A "Berry"-colored GBC.
(I had to take out the batteries & their corrosion, clean it up a bit, put some new batteries in it...and it works just fine

This GBC had Pokemon Gold already in the system, and loose (carts only in clear, plastic cases) of Frogger & Tetris - all wrapped-up in a nice little, yellow, "Pikachu-themed" GBC-"Pouch" that looks like it probably came as part of a Yellow: Pikachu's Special Version bundle, or something.

About a month earlier, I found 10 PSX games @ $1.00/each (Including FF VII, VIII, IX, Legend of Dragoon, X-Files, Resident Evil: Director's Cut), etc.

I've probably been to ~100 or so worthless sales before I hit those 2 sales, though...

Sounds like a good deal to me. 2 bucks a game and then 4 bucks for the system and case.

@nesaddict85, that's a great deal!

Also welcome to the site guys!

Action 52 for a quarter
30-ish NES games and that I didn't have, plus the system, controllers, etc for $5
A SNES for a dime

Too many to count, really. Even things like getting No More Heroes for $2 a few houses over seems to be forgotten over time.

I recently picked up working Commodore 64 at Goodwill for only $4! Best video game score of all time!

I once traded a fellow board member on ComicCollectorLive.com some comics for his PS2 and few games. For free he sent along a black-label release of Final Fantasy VII on PS1, which wasn't part of the deal. When I mentioned it to him, he said to keep it. Awesome deal!

i was given a vitrual boy a sega CD and a game gear after the guy realised how passionate i was about games.

another thing would be Silent Hill on the PS1 for $1. it's always good to look in the CD/DVD bins at the flea markets.

I second that. I got my Gamecube Twilight princess for like $2 from a pawn store cause it was mixed in with all the DVDs.
