I checked both stores, cause they are both "good" ones, but newegg was always cheaper for what I wanted, Also, hen I ordered my case it said it would be a week or so to get here, got here in 2 days.

Do you hoard games (like me), never selling any of them because you want to 100% it eventually or on the chance you may just want to play it again some day?
OR
Do you sell your games with the outgoing console?
OR
Do you buy a game, finish it and sell it straight away?
OR
Whatever else isn't covered here!

I never sell my games because when I try to, i realize that maybe I'll play it again someday or that maybe I should play it more. So now I don't even try, so yeah, I think I'm a game hoarder. However I dont get nearly as many games as I used to.

I'm game hoarder I guess...I mean I don't sell my games at all
I came up with theory in a way when it come to buying or selling games....
you see if you were to sell a game to some like a pawn shop, you wouldn't always get the full amount that you payed for the game
also if you were going to sell the game then why buy the game in the first place?
this what I think when I buy or sell games, if you really want it buy it but if you think you are going to sell it after words don't buy it but rent it or something

Only console owned is a trusty PS2 (my DS met Mr.Accidental Knee to the Screen), and my PC is in a serious need of an upgrade, yet cash is never permitting. I go through periods of getting out a lot, and then staying in for ages, and I'm at college (not university, the ENGLISH version of college) studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Medieval History. I used play the violin (stopped recently), and once learned the Keyboard (terrible at it) - always wanted to learn guitar but never got round to it. I'm very open minded (generally), especially about music, although I still maintain that my favourite band is MUSE (WWW.MUSE.MU).<br /><br />Crappy essay over!

I've traded in one game EVER, and that was Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone, man I regret buying that game.
Never sold a game, unless I REALLY need space or no longer have the system to play one I never intend to.
Besides, I've got about 50% of my collection still to finish, and I'll go back to them all anyway.

I am one now. I remember selling Hexen, Goldeneye, and a bunch of other games in perfect condition and I still bang my head on walls every now and then thanks to it. Never again, no matter how bad the game is.

I definitely hoard games. I got rid of most of my 16-bit generation carts when I was able to get all the ROMs to use on emulators. Aside from those, I still have all my PS1 games, and the only ones I've traded in were the original Rayman and Destruction Derby.

I'm definitely a hoarder. I have over 100 games carts. Even the nes game "ABCs and 123s with Sesame Street". I will never sell them except if I knew someone who really really wanted one. Don't even ask how many roms I have. It is well into the tens of thousands.

I have Duck Hunt, but no gun. Did you know Duck Hunt was two player? The second player can control the duck. That is so cool. Me and my brother play it on my computer all the time.

I used to have duck hunt but no gun for my NES. Then when I finally found the gun my NES games all disappeared. All I have left is Megaman 2.
