Incredibly recent actually. Last week I found Mass Effect 2 (new) for $26 AUS at EB Games. Dunno why it was so cheap yet...
Years and years ago I got Fallout 1 and 2, and Planescape Torment all for about £10. It was an introductory offer from one of those old "Game club" type subscription-sellers where you buy one game per month from them, and get a discount.
The punchline? I was under 18 at the time, so my mum wrote them a stern letter telling them to back off, and I got to keep my introductory games. Tee Hee!

Ico for $5 and I still have my PS2 just so I can play the game, and I might give Ico to a friend as soon as I get the Ico + Shadow of the colussos HD pack in september, my review for Ico is right Here!

Legend of Zelda Collector Edition (the one with four games in it) for £20 since it was preowned. What make this more awesome was the fact this game is somewhat rare.
Well if Steam's stupidly amazing sales can be classed as 'bargain bin' then I'd say Batman: AA for like £4. Brilliant game.
Dark Cloud for $9. It's not that great a game or a great deal, but after that visit to GameStop I never bought a used game again, hence, no more bargain bin.
(I bought a few other games at the same time, and one which I bought heavily used for $20 didn't even work, while the other which I bought "new" had scratches on the disc and sticker residue on the packaging)

Tempest 2000 for £5, not THAT long after it was current. On CDROM. Copied the actual program part onto a floppy (it was only 1.3mb) and played it on the 486s at school, which were just fast enough to make a good fist of it. Excellent game. I'd quite like to see a HD remake of it, so long as nothing was changed except the resolution...
Recently picked up Sid Meier's Railroads for £2, but time will have to tell whether or not that's a good deal or a waste of a coin.
Too bad I have no real idea what "John Woo presents Stranglehold" is, or whether I'd want it / if it's any good. Because the same place I bought SMR from is selling THAT for... 7p. One presumes it's a typo and it was meant to be £7... or £4.97... or even 97p. But no. Seven pence. If it's still there next time I'm in, I may just buy it as a cheaper and more attractive alternative to using a dead DVDR as a drinks coaster.

The Club for £4. I?m not kidding. I wanted to buy something else, but I couldn?t find it, so I went and looked for something else. I found this game, played it, and loved everything about it ever since. It?s basically kinda like a gritty third-person TimeSplitters.
Just a week ago I pulled out Singularity and Ghostbusters from a bargain bin. Got them for around 7 euro each and it was more than well worth it. Singularity was an awesome FPS that totally flew under my radar and Ghostbusters was pretty damn fun - though rather short.
