What's the best deal you ever got on a video game?

[nevermind1534]

3 NES's, 28 NES games, 2 zappers, 5 controllers, 3 power supplies for them, and 4 rf adapters
2 of the NES's have blinking light problems, 1 works fine as is
$8

Go out and get yourself some 72-pin connectors, young man!

Look in the trading post if you still need some.

Factory sealed Super Mario All Stars behind a giant video cabinet in my house. Turns out my dad who bought me a SNES for channukah and got me hooked on video games put it on top of the cabinet all the way in the back as a hiding spot and forgot about it because it was so well hidden. I found it yesterday when I noticed a box behind the cabinet, I don't know how it got there, but that's either a free game or 200 bucks in my pocket

If I were you, I would definitely NOT open it and keep it for myself. That has got to be the greatest present ever, even if it is really late.

I have Pokemon yellow, still sealed. I also have Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt in the box with the plastic shrinkwrap, but not sealed.

My NES which was my first console was new but I guess the box was water damaged or something because it was in a plastic bag. No manuals either, so water damage is a good guess. But it had Super Mario/Duck Hunt and two controllers plus a light gun. It would have been $20 but it was half price day so it was $10. That was ages ago, back when I really wanted an N64 (finally got one last summer, BTW).

I found Mario Kart 64 for $5 the other day... not shabby considering it usually runs $10-$15.

my bro bought graw 1 for the xbox 360, was the day graw 2 was released, he paid 7 quid, and graw 2 was in the box by mistake

They used to have a junk week type thing by us - it was great for finding good junk like that. (Side note: I picked up an Intellivision like that. Not sure where it is now.)

They stopped doing that, however, which was a real shame. It was the best kind of recycling possible.

[qerkdtx]

Yah I think they might not do it cuz of the economy. Which friggen sucks

D-Force with manual
Top Gear 2 with manual
WWF Royal Rumble CIB
Best of the Best Karate CIB

All for free. It was the one in the basement of my grandma's house I played when growing up. When she moved to a smaller house, she didn't want it, so I got it. Might not be the best deal in the world, but as there's sentimental value there, it's the best to me.
