    once I got a japanese PC Engine with 3 gamepads and about 30 games for 50 Deutsche Mark. that would be 25 Euro. A few time later I sold only 10 of the games on ebay and I got 25 Euro's for it. so the pc engine with 3 gamepads and now only 20 games had cost me nothing :)

    bought 3 game & watch games for maybe 20 Euros. Sold them for about 300 Euro's ^^

    I know it's not *that* game related, but I got a 19" Dell P991 monitor (Sony Trinitron tube) for FREE a couple of weeks ago - it was being thrown out by someone in the college, and it works perfectly!

    Only problem was carrying a 26kg monitor around college - that was painful...

    I bought 6 Agetec DC sticks for a whopping $20 off of Ebay. They were sold As-is. I'm gutting them and putting Sanwa/Seimitsu parts in. Two were unusuable, but 4 will become lovely arcade sticks. Considering they cost $30-$50 for used ones, I came out okay. About $10 each after chucking two of them, and adding on ridiculous shipping to the island.

    Let's see...

    I got all my DC VMUs for free because the people would take them to Gamestop for cash, but Gamestop had stopped taking DC stuff. I graciously took them off their hands.

    Then I got a 32X for $5 from a guy who needed quick cash. I got a Genesis I found in the trash at work, with hookups! Customers who came into Gamestop would just give me systems after I told them I needed the hookups with the trade in, which of course they forgot. I got a DC and two N64s this way.

    I got a Game Boy Pocket, in really good condition, for 50 cents from a guy who just wanted something for it (Gamestop no longer took them). I got a Game Boy Camera and Printer from some dude who was just going to throw them away after I told him he would receive $2 credit for them.

    As for games, I bartered constantly at Gamestop with customers who were only going to get jack for their games. I'd often give them a dollar over the trade-in price in cash for the ones I wanted. I got a couple of Saturn and Sega CD games by offering $1 to people who brought them in.

    I took a lot of controllers out of the trash at Gamestop and fixed them up. I got a lot of strategy guides when they "pennied out" at Gamestop as well.

    So I guess Gamestop has given me a lot of great deals, just not the way they'd like it. Thank God my boss was really lenient on us and let us do stuff like this. ^_^;;
