It's been a couple years, but I did get a Randall model 10 for a dollar at Goodwill. This is an old non-stainless model.

A cold steel SR1 for 5 dollars.
I'm thinking that that is about it, considering that I haven't gotten around lately for knives.

Hmmm...I'd have to say either the CRKT Mirage Gray Ghost that I got from an eBay seller for $20, or maybe the MT Mini-Socom I got at a recent gunshow for $60 (after I traded some stuff for it).
OR, it could be the free Swiss-Tech Gold tool I got when I complained to Swiss-Tech about my current tool (no jokes please).

I recently purchased a Steve Corkum Seibai neck knife from a fellow forumite for $110. We didn't know it at the time, but it was limited to only 25 pieces. I sent it to Steve and he called me and told me that it was number 2 of 25.
Sometimes you get lucky!

Hi,
I bought a Pat Crawford Fixed blade called a "Body guard" at a pawnshop for $9.95
Slightly used. The guy just didn't know what he had. Good Deal, you think?. Al

The Swedish company Fällkniven has a 50% sale on Microtech among others. I bought the Vector, Socom and Mini-Socom. I paid close to $200 for the Vector, which should come close to American prices.
The sale is still on...

Best deal EVER: $50 for Livesay UJI Fighter
Other than that...my brother's buddy had found an old Spydie Police Model in a puddle by our house. He picked it up, and aware of my knife enthusiasm...brought it to me...it was HURTING!!! Looked nasty, all gritty and dull, and some teeth were cracked and bent. BUT: I knew right away what the knife was, and in all honesty, I also knew that if they would have kept it, they would have lost it in no time.
I traded a $15 United Cutlery diving knife with a skeletonized handle, plus a gimmicky Frost piece for a 10" Spyderco Police Model. After a good after noon of soaking in GUNK Rust Remover and Degreaser, the knife was rust free. After another day or two of hard work, the teeth were repaired, and the lock was silky smooth again. It wasn't until 5 yrs later that I HAD to send it back to Spydie for a full workup, for the tip had cracked trimming a snowmobile fuel line in the COLD.
$30 in knives for a $150 knife...and this was in 1990!!! I would say that was an AWESOME deal!

Greg,
You are not a nice man
You had me until the throwing it part.
I've told this one before. A friend of mine bought a Randall 2-8" with an ivory handle, with the tip broken off, at a yard sale for $35 a few years ago. The Randall shop made it into a 2-6". He recently sold it for $700. Not a bad return on his investment

I picked up a CPM 440V San Mai Damascus Dual-Action Microtech LCC with Mother of Pearl Scales and Damascus Bolsters for the bargain price of a Grand.
Seriously though, for what I am getting it is a great deal I think.
