    Quoted from bstyles:

    In the past I've avoided re-imported b/w pins, simply because I was always able to find a US market version of the title I was looking for. I now have a chance to purchase a re-imported game locally.
    I feel like if you had two identical games, one being a US model 110v and the other being a Euro 230v, the US model should be more valuable to a US collector.
    Conversely, if the buyer was in a European market they might pay more for a game originally designed for their market.
    Therefore, this question is mainly intended for collectors; how much does a re-import affect the price? 0%, 5%, 10% ?
    In my opinion, I'd rather have a game made for the US market, but would be willing to accept a re-import, however, I just don't want to overpay if there is a stigma about them here in the USA.

    I have had numerous re imports that were trash, as well as lots of nice ones too! The same can be said of the domestic ones. Even had people decline them just because they ere imported back.
