One time when I was in Paris, this was 3-4 years ago, I was browsing in a game store, and they had a used section. And lo and behold, there I found a game I'd been looking for pretty much since I'd gotten a PS2, but never found for anything less than premium price: ICO, in its unique cardboard box, complete with all the postcards. And it was only 12 euros! The store obviously had no idea that they were sitting on something worth at least 4-5 times that much, so I snatched it up without thinking for a second. This was before the reprint, mind you, so it was pretty rare. I still have it. Ironically I ended up not enjoying ICO as much I'd hoped (I actually don't think it's that great...), but still the best deal I've ever found.
Also a few weeks back I found Conan for the 360 for a measly 5 euros. Not a great game, but a decent God of War clone, so I'm not complaining.
Edit: also yeah, I have Final Fantasy VII for the PC, in the big trapezoid box. Bought it in Edmonton, Canada one time visiting family there, this was a little bit before it became super rare, but it was after FF8 I believe. Don't remember how much I paid, but it was not a whole lot, so considering it's probably worth a fair bit more these days, I probably got lucky there. I believe that edition of the game is super rare these days. Also own FF8 PC, also with big box, which is pretty rare too but not quite as much.
