A few more. A&A Europe is only $10 shipped. I played Rocketville ($20) at GenCon, and it was a fun little political game set in the future. Not $40 fun, but easily $20 fun. It's fairly new, too.

Vegas Showdown - very nice little game. Every player is building their own casinos, and bidding on the various "rooms" to put inside them. Nice little economy, and a great game. Get it, too.
Nexus Ops - 2, 3, or 4-player game. Everyone has their own army of translucent neon units. VERY cool bits. You explore the surface of the planet, buy mroe units, and fight. The game highly reqards aggression, and accordingly plays to completion in 90 minutes, MAX. TONS of fun. Get it.
I finally broke down and spent about $35 to get Land of Eight Million Dreams, which I've been dying to get ahold of forever...
Sometimes real classics will go for almost nothing. I got a complete Ghostbusters boxed game (WEG, '85) for five bucks, Paranoia 2nd ed for about the same, and Price of Freedom (WEG, one of those not quite a skirmish game, not quite a roleplaying game things, mid eighties somewhere) for 99 cents.
Be careful.
A lot of the people on eBay will have Battletech stuff up, and they won't say that it's the new "Classic Battletech" version rather than the original. The difference being that the "Classic" version is missing 90% of the classic Mechs, like the Phoenix Hawk, the Rifleman and all that.
I found out the hard way, trying to replace my 3025 Technical Readout book. It somehow got lost in the move (I think my ex-roomie snagged it, but I can't prove it).
If you find any good deals on the Plastech miniatures, let me know. Those were the Battletech miniatures that they made with the plastic or polyvinyl rather than the metal when they were trying to find an alternative to lead back in the 90's. I have several of them, but I want all of them. Because I'm greedy. And I like them more than the metal ones.
