Personally I've never really found myself to be a collector. I'm a gamer first and foremost. If the game plays, I'm happy enough. Don't get me wrong, I try to get as good condition as I can, but I'm super frugal and stretch my dollar as best I can, so I'll gladly take saving $10-15 and get a secondhand copy as long as it plays and isn't in disgusting condition.

Hoarding is completely different than collecting... right?
Depends on who you ask, the hoarder or the collector
If your stuff is organized, you’re a collector.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I mean, define organized. If I've got 3 games and they are on a shelf in alphabetical order, does that make me a collector?
I've got roughly 6,000 games... Most are on shelves and "organized" but a bit of it is just in stacks or stuffed places.
