What kind of game is that; never heard of it?!

druaga:
If the game has a cult following, or got high praise, but had limited copies (announced) or an announcement of sales floppage, THAT s when you by multiple sealed copies for the game. Especially when it slightly goes down in price temporarily before the spike.

When and end of a game or console cycle starts to come in, like the 360 and PS3 now, although some prices are already rising, THIS is the ONLY time where you can get games which will be worth 10's of 100's for like less than $20. Sealed and used, whether in store or online.

I can understand collecting sealed games, especially if multiple copies are your cup of tea. The ones that collect only sealed games I consider bandwagon bastards. I count these as the type that has to follow every trend and have the money to throw around. The reason they collect is simply bragging rights. I have dealt with two of these guys and they both pretty much view it from the same perspective. The only thing I heard about from either one was, how many, how much spent, and why we will never be considered "collectors"because we open the games up. I don't like dealing with these people.

I can clarify if need be. I tend to ramble at times. My brain tends to throw things out faster than I can type. So I can sometimes be disjointed and fairly broken in my posts. Prime example above I guess.
