| Do You Buy Something Just Because It's Rare Or Fun Factor? |

I like to own a game for it's fun factor. a lot of rare game are rare for a reason. And sometimes it is because they stink or where underrated on their release. yet most common games I actually found to be fun including common overlooked sports titles. why pay $100 or more on a rare game when you could have just as much fun on a common game? Who like common games? I Do :) If you do see my collection I'll confess I own a bunch of compilations with the rare stuff |

Neither, I buy stuff that I see that is significantly cheaper than it would be online. |

In the past I have bought games purely because of how rare they are and because of the deal I was getting on them, but overall I've always bought games that I had the intention of playing. At the end of the day video games are meant to be played and nearly every game I own I bought because I thought it looked fun and/or interesting. My days of hunting rarity trophies simply for the sake of bragging about how I own X game are over. |

Both I buy games I want to play. These things are fun. There’s a reason there are a billion copies of SMB3 in the world. It’s really fun. I’m also a collector. The reason I some of this rare stuff is because I like having uncommon stuff in the ole collection. |

I buy games that I want to play, that are within my comfort range for game prices. I don't worry too much about what those prices are. Over time, as my collection has grown, the price I'll pay for a game has gone up- the logic being 'I can buy 3 games of middling interest for $10 each, or I can buy one game I really want for $30.' (Granted, the number is notably higher than $30 these days, but you get the point.) I also buy things that I think will add a unique, if not necessarily 'fun' experience to my collection. Especially when it's cheap- I don't spend a lot of time with Babysitting Mama on the Wii, but a dollar for a game you control with a giant plush baby? I definitely don't have anything else like that! |
