not in the hobby for profit, its for enjoying playing them. you figure it out eventually with the $$$. like when you see people you sell a game to try to sell it for double what they paid for it a month later. only get games you want to enjoy, dont focus on the $$$. Lots of people in the hobby are just out to make money. its sad, and yes the prices on the new stuff is nuts. get titles you want to enjoy and not focus on the resale value bs, and enjoy the hell out of them
