I don't remember how much I paid for it... but a good one was a PAL copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Saturn. This guy sold it in US only out of Jersey a bit back. But it was for really cheap, enough that I could easily sell it and make 5 or 6 times more off of it.

Other good deals have included free lots of Sega 32X and games and cables, free lot of Sega Saturn and games, and a Dreamcast once. Keep in mind this was also back in 99'-00' when both the Saturn and Dreamcast were a bit pricier then they are now.

My best find was a Nintendo Action Set, in the box and really great shape, for 25 dollars! Go sals.

probably either: shining force complete for genesis. it was free, this awesome dude that works at the game shop by my place gave it to me because there's a slight mark on the label on the cartridge. its not perfect, but it's still awesome. also, i got conker's bad fur day for n64 complete at the same place for 13 bucks. im not sure what it goes for these days, but probably more than that.

I nabbed my Pioneer Laseractive (with decent laserdisc collection and Pyramid Patrol along with the Sega module) a couple years ago for about $60. I think that was a good deal.

God, stop, I need to get Suikoden II again! I've owned it like three times now and sold it three times. XD

My best deals:

NES + Dragon warrior II & IV, Final Fantasy, about ten other games for $40

Saturn + Guardian Heroes, Shining Force III, Shining the Holy Ark, D, Enemy Zero, Dark Savior & several cheap games disc/manual only for $50

3DO + Links Golf (whatever it's called) for $8

Lunar SSSC (discs & case only), Dino Crisis 2 (cib), Alundra (disc & case) for $4 each

Atari Jaguar & controller - $20

Xbox 360 & CoD 3 - $100/60 (I traded a Dreamcast & about ten games that I paid around $60 for this, I was selling the lot for $100 and someone offered me the trade instead)
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games
