Another time I found a boxed Astrocade with 3 rare games, a typewriter-written label of Artillery duel, Muncher, and Blast Droids, plus about 6 other games, all for $5 + tax. And the Astrocade worked, and all the games worked too. I sold the Astrocade since I had one, and kept and cartridges that wasn't a double.

nice!

Besides free games, I've gotten quite a few carts in the 25-50 cent range over the years. I've also bought yard sale lots that averaged under 25 cents a game; in particular, the Atari set I bought for $5 a few years ago had 40 games, so even without the hardware (2 consoles, joysticks, paddles, driving controllers), that was only 12.5 cents per game. And my fiancée recently bought a huge lot for $20 that had around 100 games for different consoles, so I guess that's about 20 cents apiece -- again, without counting any associated hardware or non-game stuff.

Free of course. The next closest would probably be 25 cents. Around 1993 a yardsale was selling their collection at 25 cents per game. That was one of the times I came home with a garbage bag full of 2600 carts :D

 

Actually there was the time I bought a system with 120 games for $10 so that's what, 8 cents per cart?
