My beautiful Sega Genesis collection came nigh-entirely from Goodwill. Both systems cost $10. All games cost $3-$2 each. I think Shadow was $2.
My little SNES collection did too. System cost $15. Games were all $3, except for Super Metroid which was $2.

Nice, Anayo!
I got a Genesis system, complete in its original box, at Goodwill for $4.99 last year. Same place, I also found a GameGear on the shelf for another $3.99. Works great and is complete with the battery covers.
Got an NES for $5 at the Salvation Army... but it was sans controllers, game or adaptor. I had a dead AT&T answering machine that supplied the adaptor, got controllers from the flea market for $1 and $2, and the test cartridge was a Duck Hunt/SMB I got at Gamestop for a paltry $0.45 or so.
Somehow those are more exciting stories for me than the Genesis, 2600, Color GameBoy and Playstation that were given to me by my crazy across-the-street neighbor as she was clearing out extra "stuff" she'd accumulated around her house. She also had a Columns cart for the GameGear... that was cool.
By the way, this all happened between fall 2005 and summer 2006.
Sorry to all of you who've heard this story before.
