Space Invaders, roughly 2009-2010? Paid $180 for it, it's the only one I've still got after 5-6 cross-country moves in the past 10 years. I posted this in my own intro thread but cool story:
Wasn't sure if the seller would help load and it was on a visit to my parents' place, so I had my dad help guide it in as I got it into the truck. He asked the seller where the game had come from, and they'd gotten it from the pizza place near the mall in town when it closed in '08. Said pizza place had it since the game was new.
Turns out, from '79 until I was born in '83, my parents used to grab a roll of quarters, go to the mall, and afterward - go to the same pizza place for a slice. My dad had the high score on this very SI consistently during that time period.
Every time I talked about moving, he'd always ask if I was keeping that SI.
