You guys have some pretty cool shit in this thread.

I picked up a Sharp NES TV for $30 "Broken" AKA needed a new pin connector.
Also got an N64, NES, and virtual boy all CIB for 50 cents, they came into goodwill when I worked there, I was the person pricing and I hid them and bought them when my shift is off...sorry hahaha

No, not the outdated TV, but what's being played on it!

Not your CIB Sqoon??

PS - If you don't need that manual for yourself get in touch with wildbil52. I just sold him a box and I think he'd like that Chip n Dale 2 Manual.

Possibly my Sqoon. Lol. And I do need both manuals as I have both games. One of these days maybe I'll find the boxes. Cheesy

I'm going to change the definition of "rare" here in the sense that this was so incredibly random, it was one of my weirdest and rarest finds ever.

Standard flea market with the same vendors every week, hocking old VHS tapes, vases, etc. Old lady at the end of the row has no electronics, just that typical junk except I eye a stack of black cartridges. She has six 32X carts, no other video games, nothing. But 32X somehow. I bought them for around $8 and while they were all generally commons (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing, Mortal Kombat II for example), I did snag the Spirit Squadron and NFL Quarterback Clubs for my own 32X collection while trading the others.

I'd say that's acceptable. Tongue

Picked up Quest for the Rings for Magnavox Odyssey 2... twice, two separate occasions!  One was complete, the other was complete except for the manual.  I think they were both $5.

I would say my rarest finds would probably be the CIB Learning Fun I and II for Intellivision I found in a random craigslist lot, Body Slam Pro Wrestling CIB for Intellivision that I found at Half Price Books for $20 or maybe Super Bowling N64 CIB for $30 I also got at Half Price Books...

I also got Madden Championship Edition for Genesis for $1 at a random game store once.

I've been lurking for a while, but I hadn't been compelled to post. Thanks for the welcome. I love the resources available here.

My rarest find in the wild that I actually found myself was my Ms. Pac-Man tabletop arcade, which was only three bucks at a community garage sale.  The rarest thing I have in my collection from the wild, though, is my copy of TMNT Tournament Fighters for NES that my sister found at a garage sale, along with 11 other games including the other three NES TMNT games, for a total of fifteen bucks.  That averaged out to a buck twenty five a game, but since she insisted on just giving me the games and wouldn't accept any money back, I essentially got it for free. Smiley
