Best "steal" you've ever found?
A couple of weekends ago at a flea market I found a Carol from Where the Wild Things Are, loose, for $2. That's by far the least I've ever paid for a POP! What's the cheapest/best deal you've found?

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
Cruella De Vil for $20 this past summer. I was in the arcade game where you have to get the key shape through the perfectly shaped hole to push the prize off the shelf. I spent $20 and got her with a almost mint box. If you're curious about the exact game its called "Winner's Cube"

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
My three are not too spectacular but still...
Invisible Bilbo - $12 at a comic store in Wellington, NZ in September '15
Tusken Raider in Blue Box - $13 at a local store about two months ago
Chase Green Goblin - $13 at the same local store as above some weeks ago
I roughly converted the prices from € to $ since I'm living in Europe.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I've only found a Chase Spike at B&N, I was pretty new at collecting and it was pretty exciting. I think I bought it just because it was the first one I've seen, but I'm happy. The next best thing would be a Queen Amidala that I had seen for over a year at a local comic shop. I collect SW, but didn't really want the piece. Well, I'd rather pay $9 than what it goes for now, so I went back and snagged it. That's pretty much it besides getting first dibs on different online sales like the last Fugitive one at 3:00am and snagging a couple Pops that I needed but I didn't want to pay $50+ a piece for.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I bought a Shadow Trooper from Singapore for a couple hundred bucks last year, which was already about 30% cheaper than it was selling for on eBay at the time, and a steal compared to it's current pricing. For me I'm happy with that.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
Back in late 2013, I was at a little hobby shop on Mackinac Island, where I stumbled upon a sight so astonishing that I had to take a photo of it:

That was a brand-new, still-in-the-box Two-Face! Even back then, he was downright impossible to find. He may have even been vaulted at that point? Either way, I was an impossibly naive collector at the time who had no clue how much he would've been worth in three years time. Two-Face is just my favorite Batman villain. So I bought him, ripped him out of the box, and reveled in my $10 purchase.
Every time I look at him, I think about how much he'd be worth if I just hung on to that box...
Finding the Metallic Chase Joker one morning at a GameStop for $10 was also a pretty good steal. That one I do still have in the box

I got the Green Lantern and Superman Domos for the Pop culture deal at B&N a couple years ago, they were something like $2, but then, to me they are only really worth that much too, haha.
Got Ender on a clearance rack once for $5, but he's also kind of boring, so he's worth that price as well.
