Buy at a smart price, you will not loose anything if it’s a working machine and you keep it up. Then sell when ready. Bew Your interest list has some decent games on it so it’s not like you scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Go for it!

Two risks to this strategy...

1- If you need the money you invest in a placeholder game, NOW, to buy X or Y. Your going to be selling at a buyers I need it gone yesterday price. So not a good strategy if your going to suddenly want the cash for a deal.

2- obviously... if the shit hits the fan on the economy and the Pin market dives you loose some money on a game you did not really want. But you still own it, it’s still a decent game and worse than that happens to many daily, so you could count your blessings and move on were this to happen.
