OK found a little thrift shop off the beaten path and heres what I got in 1 box: Green N64 with 2 green controllers, 1 Blue/Yellow Pokemon controller, a/v and power cable, Battle Tanks cartridge, 2 Sega Dreamcast controllers, 1 green VMU, 1 original playstation memory card, NES Contra cartridge, all for $25 bucks. Later same day at another thrift store I picked up a Sega Dreamcast, power cord and 2 controllers for $20 bucks. Also found a Pawn shop where all SNES carts are 5 bucks and another where all N64 carts are 4 bucks so I got Super Mario world, Yoshi's Island and Super Metroid for $15 bucks, and Super Smas Bros', Hey You Pikechou and Mario tennis for $12 bucks! All systems and games working great and all cartridges are in great shape including the labels. Oh also found Monkey Ball for the Game Cube for 5 bucks and I really want this game so I was stoked, opened the case and NCAA 2004 was inside, so I passed, but did get Metroid Prime in the box which was supposed to have a bonus disc of Metroid Prime Echoes which was missing, but for 5 bucks I picked it up anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's only $3 at GameStop, even if you find it complete with bonus disc. :|

Eh, For anything less than $10 I consider the price negligible.

Cannon Spike for Dreamcast - complete at Pawn America (Duluth, MN). $1 sold as non-working disc. Was more than happy to have case and instructions for a buck, but as luck would have it, one spin through the skip doctor, I now have a complete working copy!
