Quoted from Spelunk71:I hear you, but that assumes there will be a great example for sale locally (I wouldn’t buy without seeing/playing it) with all the mods you want. The stars don’t always align so quickly...
There is also the fact that if new games do not get rerun, then the prices of used games tend to climb, at least for popular titles. Just look at IM or ACDC before they had vault releases. I've also waited many months for used games to come up locally in the past, only for the seller to up his price from demand or miss out because I actually had work to do when an add was placed for the game I was hunting for. Or I purchased to have it shipped to me only to find the game not in the condition it was described as.
