Sadly, my best deal was probably a loose Panic Restaurant for $10 about a year ago. :-\
BadChad:
Sadly...?
tiktektak:
I think my best score was the complete stock of an old toy store here in austria last year.
Around
88 new NES games
60 new MD games
20 new SNES
new Master System
some new Game Genies
some new Barcode Battlers etc. etc.
Best games I got were several new SNES big box games (Terranigma, SoM, Lufia, etc.),
Demon's Crest, some Probotectors-NES, Metal Gears-NES, etc.
A yes and at another Toy Store
25 sealed Castlevania 2 - GB
15 sealed Rolan's Curse - GB
a new but unsealed Ninja Cop
a new but unsealed Resident Evil Gaiden
I think that will be my best year in retro hauls forever.
This year I only got 10 new GB Micros and 20 or sth new SNES/N64 games.
I didn't pay more than 5 Euros for anthing in my hauls by the way (except for the Micros). ;)

When compared directly to yours, BadChad. $10 for a loose cart vs. $5 for on CIB?
Overall still a good deal, but I've gotta recognize, son!

Found this last year - I posted it originally in the garage sale ad - I doubt I'll ever find something this amazing again.
ust bought a full Sega collection off a guy.
He wanted to trade for a VITA or $250 to go buy a Vita. Other were asking so I offered him $300 which would allow him to buy a VITA ($250 in Canada) and cover the $13% tax as well as have about $20 left over and he accepted.
