King of Fighters 2003 (US version) NeoGeo AES for 300$... i bought a few other NeoGeo games for around 100-200$.

Also found a Suikoden II complete in perfect condition for 150$.

Im not spending that kind of money anymore for a game.

It's fine.  Here is how I feel about spending money on games.  Even tho' I have not spent too much on a single game before, I dont see nothing wrong with it.  We buy systems that cost over 200 dollars, so I feel like, if you got your bills paid and you got the extra money to spend, spend that 200 dollars on some retro game that you like.  I dont see a problem with it.

Every one says they would never spend that much on a game because its a game.  That is true and games are not required for human survival, but I read stories and heard of people buying stuff all the time they dont need and over years, it adds up to thousands of dollars so its all good if you buy a 300 game

I bought it when I was single without responsibility, now that I have a wife with a budget, I cant spend that kind of money for 1 game.

Haha, I love my own relationship for that. He spends money on his coffee machinery and I don't complain, I spend money on video games and he doesn't complain. Win-win

Thats sound nice... I have the same kind of relationship; she buy shoes and clothes, I buy games, no one complain... but still there is a limit on how much we can spend. She wont like at all if I spend 300$ for a game, like I wont like she spends 300$ on a purse

That's how me and my wife are.  she has her thing and I have games.  What you mean coffee machinery?  Like a big coffee machine?

Espresso machine, grinder, roaster, everything around coffee making! He just loves making and drinking coffee, so he's gotten quite into the hobby recently.

ah, he sounds like my wife!  every time we leave the house, she has this habit of wanting to get STarbucks every freaking time we leave the house lol.  If she had a million dollars, she would start her own coffee shop.  I am not a fan of coffee but she has an addition problem

HA!!! I'm concerned that we might being seeing the same woman :p. My girlfriend is OBSESSED with Starbucks, specifically green tea frappachinos lol. She has one at least every other day, and if it weren't for me she'd have one every day. Must be something in their drinks that drive women crazy :p

The most expensive game I bought was Panzer Dragoon Saga on Sega Saturn for about $150. That was about 10 years ago though. Probably goes for much more than that now.

Ya looks like it's hovering around the $300 range at the moment, glad I got mine when I did.

Funny you guys mentioned coffee and girls. My mom came up from Florida at the beginning of October last year. She wasnt here 2 days and she went out and bought a coffee maker for my house (no one here drinks coffee at all) and this huge thing of coffee and filters cause 2 days without it was way too long for her.

Since Panzer Dragoon Saga was mentioned, I found what I thought was a really nice CIB copy on Etsy for $75 shipped. I got sniped on a copy on Craigslist a while back so I wasnt going to let this one slide. I wish I would have. Been having to deal with Paypal to get refunded. Im not actually in the market for Saga but it would have been a nice game to put up for a trade for Buster Douglas. Just sucks that its not going to work out that way.

Man, I know where you're coming from on the trade. But I cringe at thinking about trading Saga for Buster. Buster is such a bad game. You have to do what you got to do to complete the set. But Saga is often considered one of the greats in RPGs. Never mind being a Sega fan, just an RPG fan is reason enough to keep it. And it is a game unplayable outside of the Saturn. I don't know if I could do that trade. Even for the set.

You are a brave man.

I think what makes it worse is the fact that Heavyweight champ is the same game as Buster Douglas in every other part of the world besides the US. Its a $25 game complete.

Im not interested in playing Buster Douglas at all. But this is the closest Ive been to a complete set and probably the only set I will ever actually complete (other than Virtual boy would I would do out of weirdness).
