Rockman X - $7-8
Rockman X2 - $12-15
Rockman X3 - $17-22

I assume you want loose? If so, I wouldn't pay more than that. CIB is a different story.

Watch when one of the newer JP sellers has them at auction, you can grab them for that price. The more popular JP sellers who run auctions like nippotopia, yamatoku, hit-japan and japan-trust have enough followers it's hard to get a steal, but there are always new sellers popping up trying to gain a following by offering solid titles at $0.01 starting bid and $7 shipping (which they'll combine).

There are also 6-game auctions (X, X2, X3, Soccer, Forte, 7) that usually do in the $100 range, you can always flip the other 3 and get back half of your purchase price, so you'd get all 3 for about $50.

If you're asking because you're looking at a SFC without power brick, I believe a GEN model 1 brick will power a SFC fine. Check the specs sticker and compare to my linked power brick thing below.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking at a lot that includes a console at the moment and I'm thinking of getting it, but I was hoping to not take up an extra plug.
