I have an ongoing list of games I'm on the lookout for, some are incredibly rare and some are very common. I buy what sounds interesting and fun to me regardless of rarity. Ironically, I've found that most rare games or games that re considered "hidden gems" are vastly inferior to similar games that sold in the millions. I feel like if a rare game is even remotely fun this gives collectors ammo to over hype a game until its price skyrockets. I've seen this happen countless times. |

On topic I never keep lists of rare games It's not really fun it gives the need to hunt for certain titles wich you might probably never get unless your willing to spend. |

I just learned what was hot. I never had a list. If I’m out digging and I find something I’ve never heard of, I google it. I check pricecharting.com, gamevaluenow.com, eBay.com to see what something is selling for. You’ll remember more stuff the longer you’re in the collecting game. |
