Final Fantasy 7 black label with misprint, a gift from an old girlfriend.

Just recently, Chrono Trigger for the SNES with box for fifty bucks with shipping included on an ebay auction that apparently no one was paying attention to

Like new Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin for the DS complete for ten bucks, which I've seen new on amazon.com for forty something dollars.

Wild Guns for SNES CIB with inserts, bag and everthing. Exact price I don't remember but I know it was less than what it normally goes for. Another lucky ebay find

Picked up Contra:Hard Corps cheap on ebay too, it's kind of pricey now it seems

I have a copy of Dracula X loose cartridge for the SNES. I don't even remember where or when I got it. I've found CIB copies of Conker's Bad Fur Day, Final Fight 3 cheap in game stores or blockbuster, before they became pricey finds

Once, a friend needed some money so he sold me about 15 Saturn games for $2 each. They were all good games, mint CIB. Wasn't as good as the time I got Shining Force 3, disc only, for only $10 (though I later sold it for $50, now I have one CIB).

After the PS2 was out for a while, my local Blockbuster had a bunch of brand new PS1 Greatest Hits for sale. I guess they were trying to get rid of them. I got Symphony of the Night and Medal of Honor for $10 each, FF7 and Metal Gear Solid for $15 each. I know they're the GH version, but I believe SotN and FF7 sell for a lot more than that these days. I'm less glad about the deal that I got, and more glad about the fact that I'm the original owner of the games. That's something that I really like, especially with old games.

I don't think i've ever gotten super steals on games, but for me the value of two of my all time favorite games was big at the time.

I got a brand new sealed copy of Guardian Heroes from an Electronics Butique back in the day. It was only 30. I loved that game to death, but made the mistake of loaning it out to my cousin who lost it or sold it for drugs, not sure which one.

Bought a disc and manual copy of Dragon force for 20 once.

Got a new copy of Lunar Silver Star Story Complete for 20 at a Walmart.

Wish i had picked up the Suikoden 2 next to it for the 40, but i had never heard of it at the time. OH well.
