When you get a really hard to find game cheap. Like at a Flea Maket, Yard Sale, Goodwill, Thrift Store, or online. The feeling is great.

What's the cheapest you paid for that rare game, or games.

$100 for PAL AES system, Jap KOF2000 (excellent condition), 2 old-style controllers, along with several gamer's-condition carts (NAM75, Trash Rally, Top Hunter, SS2, Ninja Commando, ... etc)

the seller also gave me an empity KOF96 case. he forgot to put the cart inside the case. I didn't mention this to him for an obvious reason.
