Growing up I had a good handful of Pokemon merch; bedding, plushes, figurines, those "gold"-plated tablet things, a shirt or two, trading cards. My favorites were my Lugia card (Neo-Genesis), missile-firing Groudon and Mewtwo plush. Most of its sitting in a bin somewhere, but I keep my favorite cards with me at college. And that was all my merch, until recently.
A memento-gift shop kind of place that I got to to buy and sell Yugioh/Pokemon cards used to have a tiny little bin of Pokemon-related toys. A $40 original Pokedex for example was in there for some time. One day I saw this badass motherfucker sitting in there and asked for the price. After he said $4 (clearly just made up a price on the fly) I snagged it, as Electivire is my favorite Gen IV poke. Took him home, put some batteries in there and he's been adorning my desktop for about 6 months.
I'd say I did pretty good price-wise, since it works and everything. Funny enough there was a college fair a few weeks afterwards and everything else in that bin was sold.
Pic related; got that photo off eBay though. I bought it out of packaging, and I'm not home right now to take a photo.
