Rarest find (In the wild)

[slackur]

My rarest find in the wild? My gamer wife!!

Also, it has been rare to find a good gaming collection site with a great community in the 'wilds' of the internet, but I found that a few years ago too.  

My rarest 'finds' were actually from friends looking out for and then selling things to me, so not really in the 'wild' in a sense; those include a sealed NIB Vectrex and over a dozen of the games also NIB, and my original Odyssey with games and the gun CIB, bought from the original owner.  I did pay fairly for them, cheaper than the market at the time but not quite 'cheap'...

Best traditional deals include NES Snow Bros and Little Samson for about $5 apiece, cart only, several years ago.

einhander

I got that for free from a dumpster. I gotta say that was a good day, a green label FF7 was one of its brothers.

Little Samson cart on craigslist.  $75 for the lot that it was a part of but I'm pretty sure I can sell the rest of the stuff for at least $75.  So, free Little Samson!  It went straight to Duke and his nearly complete NES collection.

Happy for Duke but at the same time secretly hate him. lol  If you find another in the future can you put me on your list?

Sure thing!  As long as you keep an eye out for a CIB Web of Fire for me.

So far, Red Baron Flight Simulator for the TI-99/4A in a thrift store bin last year.  I know it's not from as popular a system as the NES, but I paid $0.75 and have yet to see an active listing or recent sale anywhere.  It's listed as extremely rare to the point that I have never even seen a pic of the cart online anywhere. Guess that means I should get it scanned into the database.

Exceltec/Data Biotics...they had the most random crap.

I'm still holding out hope for a super rare find in the wild. I guess the best deal I've been able to score was a CIB Vectrex in pristine condition, all of it's original packing foam intact and a plastic sleeve to cover it. It came with one extra game. I dealt the guy down to $110. Shortly thereafter, I got in some financial troubles and needed money quickly (for rent). I sold the system to a guy I shop from at a flea market for something like $160 + store credit. I would have preferred to have kept it, though.

That Wacky Races manual is a pain to find.  VERY cool to get one for free.

Action Max CIB $20

I picked up one of these CIB for 10.00 at Goodwill.  But I couldn't sell it for anything.   Finally after EBAY, Craigslist, and RFgeneration.  Someone signed up here at RF just to buy the Action Max from me.  I checked recently, he never logged back in again after contacting me through the Message system here.
