I have overpaid for a pin that I wanted before...$2000 for a nice BF, $1700 for a T2 that needed some work and $2100 for a nice BSD. All were games I wanted. I have made money and lost money on the 15 + games have have come and gone. I always look at it as entertainment not an investment. All this being said...nothing beats getting a good game at a great price.
