Quoted from CLEllison:Almost every NIB pin purchase ends in a financial loss. Like a car, as soon as you drive it off the lot it depreciates a couple grand. No one can possibly know if a pin "example Tron" will become the new GOAT or not. Either be OK knowing full and well you're losing money or just buy an older pin and your loss will be minimal if any.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:If you want to buy brand new expensive games, expect to lose
Up until a few years ago, NIB games were selling for *more* than retail price on the secondary market. Then more manufacturers entered the picture, manufacturers started making more games, releasing titles more frequently, and raised prices, so that was the end of that.
