Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:

If you put a game in storage, versus selling it outright in a year, eventually you will recoup your costs if you properly protect it in a climate controlled environment.
That is what some do, when they wish to rotate their lineup.

This is what I do. But I'm not kidding myself: climate-controlled storage is costing me about $120 annually per stored game. That plus inflation eats away at any profit I might get from keeping them. I just like having games that I've already restored. Which reminds me, it's time to put Black Knight back in the gameroom.
