Found a copy of SaGa Frontier 2, but the guy was asking a wild price because it was "mint condition" and had "never been played"... Could've just gotten a sealed one instead. He wouldn't budge, but then I found one on eBay that was local - plus I had a $10 coupon.
Found a sealed copy of Astral Chain at a trade show for pretty much retail; haven't opened it yet, but I'm gonna. Also caught WarioWare: Move It on sale. Also happened across a copy Quake 4: Special DVD Edition for $2 at a flea market.
Found an Amiga 500 with a Keelog power supply for under $50,000,000! Seriously, everything on eBay is $500-and-up after shipping, taxes, and duty; untested, no PSU, PAL, cracked, missing parts, and/or modified to hell... But this one is a stock A500 running Kickstart 1.2 for hundreds of dollars less than anything else, plus the seller was nearby. I still need to settle on a display solution (just using the monochrome output to my 1902 for now) and figure-out the best way to get disks going on it, but otherwise I think I've completed my vintage computer journey.
