The highest amount of money you would be willing to spend on a Turbo game

[420GOAT]

$50 is the most and thats too bad cause there are may tiltels that cost way more. but its theirs so be it.

[Tatsujin]

oh yea I dropped close to $200 on the rare Crazy Hospital unlicensed release and close to 200 on FaceBall promo disc.  given the peculiarity of the titles I dont regret both.  The faceball is actuall fun.  Crazy Hospital I barely played, didn't have the patience to go thru all the menus just to see nakes anime chicks

any chances that you would trade your promo vs. my non-promo plus some cash or other trade fodder?

[JapanTokei]

lol Tats...  depends on the fodder I guess.  that promo disc took me forever to locate.  read somewhere its print run was 2000...

The most expensive game that I'm still searching for is Rondo, and if I buy it, it will be the most I've ever spent on a game.  I very rarely buy games new at full price, and generally spend less than $20 on any single game.  Under $10 is my real comfort zone unless its something awesome.

You must not buy many games.

For me anything under $30 is a risk I'm willing to take for any game. If it's crap, I feel like I didn't waste a ton. I don't really buy games full price ($60) unless it's something that I feel may be limited in the future or a cool enough LE/CE that I like. I do most of my buying on Amazon because I get so many gift cards.

No, that's not the case.  I just have very good thrift stores and very good used media shops.  And I try to bundle stuff together when buying on the forums.  But I don't have many super-rare games.  I buy stuff to play, not to have lookin' pretty on the shelf.

I'm in the same boat as Chris.  I rarely spend more than $20 on a video game.  And usually it's closer to $5-$10.  There are so many fun games out there that I usually don't bother trying to collect the "coveted" games that cost more.

Having said that, I'd really like to get Drac X one of these days and I know I'll have to go out of my comfort zone to get it.

EDIT: It probably helps that I live in a town with a HUGE Army base (Fort Bragg) and lots of thrift stores, so I don't have to rely on the internet to find a lot of good retro-gaming deals on the more common fare.

[Lilgrafx]

if I'm being perfectly honest I'd spend 300 on magical chase if it was boxed

[Nando]

About as much as I would pay for a new game, no more than $60. Although I might make an exception for Rondo or one of the harder to find games. So MAYBE $80 tops? Maybe!

[PunkicCyborg]

I bought Rondo for $60 and that was the single most expensive game I've bought which is pretty cheap for Rondo already. I have spent a couple hundred bucks in games in the past but I'm usually buying lots so they get cheaper the more you buy

Yahoo.jp?

[Dirge]

Depends on how bad I want it.  Having said that, the sad reality is there's probably no limit to what I'd pay.

or craigslist or ebay or forum deals.

Heh, I got it in a lot of 7 for $90. Some call it luck, I call it perseverance.
