$300AUS inc shipping for my Street Fighter IV Comic Con 2009 TE stick (only 500 made, I think?).

Stick was great until the joystick became unusable after a few months. Still havent gotten around to trying to fix it yet, unfortunately.

The most I have ever spent on a games console is £550 which was when I imported a brand new sealed red American PS2 into the UK. The console itself cost me over £400 with the exchange rate, but with the shipping costs and customs charges the price increased to nearly £550!

I paid a similar amount for a brand new sealed crystal blue Halo 2 Xbox console from Canada


However, these are not my most expensive consoles in my collection. I think that accolade would go to my silver Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS Lite, which was limited to only 1,000 units and exclusive to the UK and Europe. Sealed ones typically sell for over £600 on eBay whenever they appear, and every one I see the price keeps rising. Used ones often hit over £400! Zelda collectors are hardcore!

I'm pretty used to paying around £250-£300 for X360 LE hardware. They're not usually the first things I think of when I'm asked what the most expensive item I own is. But the good thing about most of these LE consoles is that they tend to more or less hold their price

I'm not really that much of a big spender, instead I have an eye for the bargains and a decent amount of patience!

My most expensive addition to my collection(but also one of the best bargains) is my sealed/mint AC2 Black Edition on PS3, which cost me £80 with free shipping!

My most expensive game is a mint copy of Mark of the Wolves on Neogeo AES (JPN). I bought it on eBay for US$450. At the time our dollar wasn't the best so it worked out to around AUD$650!

It's still my pride and joy.
