Has any body ever gotten lucky finding a certain title like very hard to find games not on ebay or any online site, but in your area are you lucky finding things?

I scored Metal Gear Solid for PS1 for $10 at an EB in town. I know it is all over ebay, but not for that price, and I haven't seen another copy of it used or new around here in ages.

In 2001, I went electronic store at Canal Street in Manhattan, NYC. I found Saturn's Shining Force III at box with several Saturn, Sega CD, Playstation, and 3DO games. I asked the worker, "How much?" and pointed Shining Force III. She gestered before I told her I am Deaf, "$10." My eyes opened wide. I took ten dollars off my wallet and handed it to her. Then I took Shining Force III. I was happy. :D

I've got my fair share of free games... I got Mashed Fully Loaded, God Of War and some other PS2 games for free due to mix ups at online stores.

I wasn't able to get it, but I was at a flea market a couple years back and this old hillbilly was selling a SNES with a whole box of SNES games and a factory sealed copy of Chrono Trigger for $5. He said it was his son's, and his son forgot about it when he moved out. Unfortunately, I didn't have my wallet on me and I was with nobody, so I was quite upset for the rest of the day. I tried desperately to get him to give it to me for free, but that was a no-go.

Wasn't a steal exactly, but it was a mistake on the stores part, I'm sure. About a week after Siren's release I got it for 10 bucks from EBgames.com. Of course, it can be found anywhere, now for 10 bucks... but at the time it was going for $50.

Got Valkyrie Profile for 38 bucks from Gamespot online. Was complete, disks were mint.... and the manual just about brand new.... case was cracked but cases can be replaced easily enough. Was about 2-3 years before they bought out EB.

Got Persona 2 when Gamestop.com had a huge surplus of them for about 25 bucks... a little before they bought out EB.

Got SMT: Nocturne special edition used from Atlus.com for 38 bucks.... when they were going for about 70 on Ebay and before the second reprints of them. Guess it may be about 4 years ago...maybe 5. Everything came mint... not even a hair lined scratch on the disk... looked brand new, in fact.

Got Xenogears new and sealed....from somewhere.... walmart.com I think, about 6 years ago, I guess.

I wouldn't say it was a find but I got a copy of Snatcher for the Sega CD for free and sold it for $100. The person I got it from didn't know how rare it was. Neither did I until I looked it up:P

Now 1 great find was buying a near complete copy of Final Fight Guy at EBgames for 2 bucks.

My best pickup was Ogre Battle 64 complete for $20 at my old movie rental store. Woulda had Suikoden 2 for the same price except someone took it before i could come back with funds payable.

My greatest find is Disgaea complete for 44.99 at an EB back in 2004. It's not a deal now since the reprint happened, but it was a steal when it was $120 on ebay. It's still my favorite SRPG, even after Ring of Red and Shining Force.

A couple of years ago I came across a Gamestop where the manager unfortunately had gone broke and had to sell his personal collection. I felt bad for him, but he had some rare titles in amazing condition. I got his copy of Suikoden II in about as good of a condition as it can be in without it still being unopened for $60

I was at Walmart when they bought out another Store like it, it think it was Walco, either way they had three copies of Final Fantasy for NES unopened for 12 bucks a piece, I wish I would of realized how rare it was. I only got one, because I never owned it, they were just getting rid of them because Nintendo was obsolete.

Damn it. I keep on Thinking of better thing as my favorite and greatest find. My newest greatest find would be all the old game platforms like snes nes and sega. Heres the thing. My greatest find would be on the web is emulators for these platforms with every single game for these consoles. This is my greatest find.
