senorcoo: Percentage wise probably a copy of Sid Meier's Civ - 2nd edition that I bought for around $20 and sold for $70. Nice 250% profit.
Skwib: Betrayal at House on the Hill right before the prices when gangbusters.

DHEK: I've not had such luck, sad to say...
Der Ubermolch: Titan. I got it at a board game store somewhere in the western suburbs of Chicago in, like, 2000. The place was going out of business and they had Titan for $35.
MisterCranky: People who care about this should be disintegrated with ray guns.
Skeletor: Skelebone, funny you should ask that
daveroswell: I got Age of Mythology for free...
andreww: Robo Rally, Goodwlill $2.49

matthew.marquand: It was big day for me that I found a copy of Samurai in a local game store, tucked away on a shelf (last copy) when nobody had it anymore including online vendors (out of print). The fact that it's back 'in print' makes it less interesting but at the time I was very happy.
