I'm usually buying lots so they get cheaper the more you buy

Yahoo.jp?
or craigslist or ebay or forum deals.

craigslist around here sucks for TG16 stuff. :(

and man there are some awesome deals going on here lately.

I am still in search of a minty complete Madou Monogatari... I would play ~$150 to $175 for that depend on the condition.  same for 1941 SuperGrafx ($100 to $125 for that).  These are the 2 biggies that I am still hunting for, where each's price are fully deserving and not driven by rarities only... (like Renny Blaster)

The most I've spent on a game so far was $42 CAD on Shockman.  I nearly purchased a copy of Bonk's III for $79 off eBay the other day, but the auction went too high so I let it go.  Man that was hard to do.  I'm almost obsessive about collecting/purchasing TG-16 games.  I've only been collecting for a couple months, but I find I have to hold myself back.  Half the fun is finding the titles.

I'm sure I'd go up to $100 on a game, but it would have to be in very good condition with the manual.  I play PS3, so I'm constantly shelling out $60 for new games.  I kicked myself for spending $70 on Assassin's Creed II when it first came out only to drop to $60 a week later.  I have some disposable income, but not as much as I think.  :)
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

Having owned the TG-16 since 1990 and the Duo since launch, I was able to get those "hard to find games" for regular retail prices or for crazy clearance.  Shit I got Beyond Shadowgate for free.  No one wanted it.  Dungeon Explorer II was $10.  No one wanted the Turbo stuff.  I rage when I see how it's gone since the incarnation of ebay.  I refuse to put money into games that have been gouged so much, and has attracted so many collectors. The inflation to the prices is just rediculous.  IT'S VIDEO GAMES!  I have never paid more than $80 for a game and I sure as hell am not starting now, even if I have the money.  The only way I will pay more than $100 for a game is if it's an arcade PCB I really really really want.

I would pay quite the price (over $70) for games like Double Dragon 2, Dracula X, River City Ransom, Vasteel US and Dungeon Explorer 2 US maybe.

I also buy (mostly Japanese) Neo Geo AES carts, so I have a different way of seeing game prices, lol. Even so, the most I have paid in the past couple of years was: $80 Real Bout Fatal Fatal Fury, $90 Real Bout Special, $110 Real Bout 2, $200 Last Blade 2 and $180 for Art of Fighting 3 all mint-near mint. This was over a 4-5 year span with patient shopping though.

Typically, the most I pay is $65 after tax for current gen games every 2-3 months. I usually buy current gen games used on the cheap, like Bayonetta, Killzone 2, 3, Uncharted 1 and 2, MGS4 and such.
