Proudest moment

[smalien1]

What is your proudest Cheap Ass Moment, for example did you snipe an ebay auction at the last second or see a great game on clearance somewhere? Maybe you worked real hard to get a good deal?
Please don't inclued crummy games you just got because they were cheap

I'm pretty proud of 1 moment a little more than a mont ago I believe, I just happened to wake up at about 8:30 AM when like every other day it had been 10 and I logged on to CAG and was able to get both 1080 avalanche and wario world for 9.99 before they were all gone.

i went to a game crazy and found a mint condition Suikoden 2 for $12.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While on vacation, I managed to pick up a copy of Legend of Mana for PS1 for just $1.01.

[WhipSmartBanky]

Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller for Xbox, new/sealed, for $3.32 at CC. Their big after-Christmas clearance plus that "Buy 3 Save $20" sale rocked.

[YoshiFan1]

CC Marvel vs. Capcom 2 PS2 for $4.99

[jimbodan]

Definately the CC sale! I checked the site, heard a couple people mention it and as soon as someone posted a picture of their reciept I was off! It was very nice having first pick of everything at 2 CC's, unfortunately the list was tiny then, so I had no idea what was on it and what wasn't. Still I think I did ok.

I bought Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner a week after it came out at Hastings for $5.99 because some employee confused the price of the game for the price of the game rental. Hastings employs a lot of girls who know absolutely nothing whatsoever about games, movies, or music. Gamestop and EB tend to do the same, but that is another topic.

[Ebraum]

Passing out penny Clone Wars-Tetris Combo's to my freinds.

[captainfrizo]

Grabbing the only copy of Skies of Arcadia at Circuit City for $5 after some kids doing a quick scan over the section missed it. It was right in front of them too.

The runner-up moment would be getting rid of Roadkill and Legends of Wrestling (I paid a combined $5 for both, and Roadkill got $8 credit alone) for a "used" copy of Chronicles of Riddick a week ago. I paid about 60 cents for Riddick and the game and manual were brand new.

[Sporadic]

Steel Battional for 100. Just because of all the shit I had to go though to get it.

[Querjek]

Final Fantasy "II" and Final Fantasy "III" (Both SNES) for $2.99 each at a Goodwill. Sure, the games aren't that rare, but they still kept me occupied for months.

[Mustang O-Line 75]

now that's a deal

if I got that one it like that it would be the best ever in my book

But mine is probably whwn I bought my xbox at cristmas only using games I had bought for about 3 dollars as trade in (for 10 dollars apeice).

[bfg9k]

Sega brand maracas for dreamcast at toys r us. The sticker said $80, I brought them up the counter to see if they were any cheaper. They guy scanned them and they weren't in the computer. He asked how much I would pay for them and I said $10. Sold! Cha-ching! :)

I just traded my friend a box of Tasty Kake Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes for a copy of Crazy Taxi GC ><

I think that was Ultimatallica's proudest moment from the best trade ever forum.
I think my proudest moment was when I broke top 100 on the scoreboard on XBOX Live Tetris Worlds.

Most proudest CAG moment was a 3 way trade. Buy Super Game Boy Player/Game for .99 at store A, trade in at store B for 10.00, buy 10.00 game. Trade in 10.00 for 50.00 back at store A. Frequency: Once a month.

[swick]

What kind of store gives you $50 for a trade-in? Jesus, for the matter, what game?

[thingsfallnapart]

i think sying is refering to a certain "wal mart" store.

[dafoomie]

EB was doing a trade-in deal, minimum $10 trade each game of Xbox, PS2, PS1, N64, no limit (at least not at my store). Traded in a lot of crappy PS1 games like Pro Pinball, and got a new PS2 with online adapter (at the time going for $180?) for $40.

[Kaijufan]

Being awake early enough to catch CS for $10 at EB.
Preordering Lord of the Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth for $20 when Amazon had the wrong price for the game.

[FriskyTanuki]

Discovering the CC sale that started a week early than it was supposed to start.
