A couple of days ago I went to this place called Gibralter Trade Center. People set up booths with things for you to buy. You can also sell things. I saw this video game booth, and saw this Sonic game. It had 7 classic Sonic games on it, and it only was $20. So I was thinking about getting it. I just looked at the other games first, since that's about all the money I had, $20. So I come back, it's gone...

SO CLOSE. >:(
YEAH

I could've gotten an R.O.B. for $10.

I did not have $10.

An AV Famicom with 36 games for $100 on Craigslist. I waited too long at the guy moved. >:

Hey, at least I'm going to get a Virtual Boy with three games for $50.

Well, I found ToS for the gamecube for $15 bucks at Gamestop, which is RARE since I can't find the game anywhere.  D=

I had only 10 bucks. =[   I went home for 5 minutes to go get more money, and when I came back it was gone.


What luck I have, eh?

i see 54 copies just on Amazon

not as low as the price you found it at, but still, it's not hard to find if you just shop around online or something

Hm...good point.

I might check it out, but I don't really shop online much.

Er.. Nothing. I don't buy games much, and when I do, I almost always have the money for it.

Custom

I remember when I was a kid there was a Dreamcast and like 3 games for 20$. I wanted it so bad.
Mainly because of the Virtual On sequel.

I think I saw Donkey Kong: King of Swing for $20 somewhere...

You're missing out.

Most of the good deals I've found on games have been online.

Definitely. CDs and such too.

Mojo's Electronics in Antigo, Wisconsin. The whole store is a giant affordable retrofest.

But they ripped me off when I got a retro Game Boy for 10 bucks, the screen died soon after, and I couldn't refund it. >.>

A long time ago I went to a thrift store and they had a basket full of snes games and they were all cheap but my mom wouldn't buy them for me ;_;
Also, another time I went to another thrift store and they had a whole bunch of NES games on a shelf for cheap, but my mom wouldn't buy me them either because I didn't have an NES ;_________________;
