A guy came into my store needing gas money and sold me complete in box copies of Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2 for $5 a piece. I never had that kind of luck randomly again.

That certainly trumps even my little brother's luck. He found Super Mario RPG and Mega Man Soccer in a grocery store parking lot when we were in middle school. I ended up with them, so I won in the end, but I still wish it was me that found them.

Rarest find in the wild is either E.V.O for SNES or Maxi-15 for NES.  I suspect Maxi-15 is the rarer one.

Found a PlayStation 2 copy of Jurassic Park Operation Genesis in mint condition for $3.

When I picked it up I thought the price was a mistake I said to myself why are you out here and FFX is in the glass case?

If it was a mom and pop store I would told them how much it's going for but the store is like a larger version of Gamestop so yeah, score one for me  Smiley

Nice weapon x!  My brother and I found jurassic park og for ps2 and xbox and the strat guide each under $10...so yours is totally an awesome rare find! 

I have more to add to the rarest finds pile I have on here but for now I'll just put my second copy of sega 32x World Series baseball I found for $5 while the local store priced it as the genesis World Series baseball. Then I sold it.

Jealous of both Slowman...I'm hoping to find an Evo someday.

Oh! I found Mega-Man Socker for $2.39 a while back in Goodwill a while back as well.

For me, it wouldn't be a rare or pricey find in terms of value...but rather the method I obtained them that made it a "rare" find. During one summer in high school, I worked for a local petting zoo. They wanted to refurbish the attic of the building leading outside to display more indoor animals, so they took me away from my normal duties for a few days to clear out all the storage that had been up there from the previous owners. Most of it was shelving and old furniture from whatever business was there before the petting zoo bought the building, but way in the back of the attic hall, I found a pseudo "Break room" and there was a small TV connected to a SNES with the game Home Improvement inside it. The owner told me I could keep them, so I was happy to snag another SNES for my bedroom growing up...but man...Home Improvement was a terrible platformer...ha ha

Sounds like the time I found a Genesis with a copy of Ms. Pac-Man in it lying in a tote on the curb.

That might be the only time Minty and Dumpster have been used in the same sentence.

On here? Possibly, although the search doesn't find the 'norch's "Hey now"s, so it may have been done before. shrug
