I can still top it though, and I think it's the mother-of-all scores I've ever had... Suikoden II, complete for free  (Warning, unnecessarily long and drawn-out tale ahead!) As the story goes, there was a fellow who basically decided to live at my friends' old apartment a couple of years back. 'The guy on the couch', that type... anyway, this couchman didn't have a job or any stable source of income, and people began suspecting him of stealing people's food and drink while distracted, and naturally were none too happy about it. Indeed, he had fallen out of favor with just about everyone in our extended social circle, which generally was not something one wanted to do. One evening, we were all at a party up the street from the aforementioned apartment where my friends and the couchman lived, and I had procured a healthy stock of Steel Reserve for the evening. Well, as the night pressed on, I took a moment to use the bathroom while I had left my stock of booze on the counter next to the bathroom door, and I'll be damned if I didn't hear someone step near it, pick it all up and hastily retreat. Sure enough, it was gone and so was the couchman; I did what any desperate drunkard would, and high-tailed it down the street to the apartment where he had taken up residence. Sure enough, he was situated on his couch with all of his uninvited homie friends passing my drinks around, so I immediately pointed that out. He tried to say that it was indeed his and he had purchased it all by himself, when I pointed out that I had written my name all over every goddamned can in the pack (In anticipation of having it stolen... I certainly didn't think it would pay off). Of course, by that time it was far too late and the damage had been done; I would spend the night painfully sober and pissed off about it. So, the next day, I go to one of the rent-paying folk whom I happened to be quite good friends with at the time, and related my experience to him. Being the excitable and violent type, he immediately leapt forward swearing to commit all manner of violent acts upon the hobo sleeping not fifty feet away. I told him I'd feel much more satisfied if I could simply be repaid with a game of my choice from the couchman's collection, to which he reluctantly agreed (This friend particularly enjoyed violence and the like, so he was hesitant to agree to something that didn't end in him kicking thesomeone's ass). So, with that, I quickly bolted into the living room where the assortment of games lied strewn about, dug through the pile on the floor and rescued my copy of Suikoden II. |

About the GBA, it wasn't a retail deal. Bought it off of someone who needed gas money. I offered him more, but he refused! :thief:

Wow, some of these deals were great.
The best I've ever gotten was Eternal Darkness for ten bucks. They had Wave Race for the same price, but they were out. |
