    The Dreameye for 300 yen at Super Potato. (FACTORY SEALED.) I almost shat my pants. Does that not buy a pack of gum over there?

    This happened to me 3 years ago.
    Here in the Dutchlands we have Queensday, on it we celebrate the queens birthday but also the whole country turns into this open market where kids and adults can sell their unwanted junk.
    As I was walking past one of the stands a "laptop-bag"caught my eye, it turned out to be a carry case for an Atari Lynx. It had the Lynx I in it looking like new, all the cables and like 30 odd games. I asked him if it worked and the seller pulled out this bag of batteries, put them in and turned it on. Screen was perfect as well as the sound. He asked 40 euros for it which I happily paid....but I came short 4 euros (I was on my way to an ATM) He said:"Meh it's okay, take it and keep the batteries too"

    Just picked up a Sony Playstation 1 kiosk off Craigslist. $75 USD

    Only thing missing with it is the key and decals above and below each speaker. The flouresent light inside the console housing is burnt out. Everything else is perfect. Never was used in stores.
    EDIT: also did not come with the PS1 console or controllers and the controller mounts.

    Lol. Properly in a room. Reason both Saturn kiosks are in my garage is because I'm tossing my old one(keeping some parts though) and my new one will go in my entertainment room along with my PS1 and Dreamcast kiosks.

    Almost got a Sega Dreamcast kiosk off Craigslist. I told the guy I'll for sure buy it and that I'd call him tomorrow to set up a time to pick it up. Called him next evening and he told me someone picked it up that morning. :(

    It was only $40 USD

    God that's a great deal. I missed out on a chance to get one for free when a neighbor was throwing one out that was only missing controllers. I still feel like an ass.

    Just picked up a Game.com Pocket Pro for just $2.00, came with Indy 500 game. It's in MINT condition, so it was a great find.

    Found a working Saturn for six bucks at a local thrift store after I had been trying to get my hands on one for years.

    On top of that, two days ago, I got an N64 with a few controllers, a 4MB memory expansion and 28 games for thirty bucks. A few of the games were somewhat uncommon too, including Harvest Moon 64 and Mario Party 3. It also came with Hey You Pikachu and the microphone for it too. I have been experiencing some issues with them, but I think it may be because of the console, not the games.
