Hello,

I have been into collecting for a few years but I have noticed a trend where people sell games immediately after getting them and I want to know why?

If the excuse was because they didn't like them after they got it then shouldn't people go play the game before purchasing? Could it be because they think they could flip it? Was it regret?

I'm curious to know what you guys think!

Why do you want to lose money? When I buy its only after playing it for a few hours in real life, Pinball Arcade if possible, and researching issues and availability of parts. I avoid new games because they haven't stood the test of time.

a couple hundred dollars adds up to a color dmd

I always take $500 off the asking price on top of negotiations. What I was referencing was buying a game and selling at a loss of a few hundred dollars and being ok with that which is different then account for cost of fixing issues.

Im not looking to buy a game brand new and being ok with losing a few hundred dollars because I didnt do my diligence before I bought it.

I used to sell cars so when someone came into the dealership with a car with chrome rims and custom stuff I would usually ask for them to remove it or suffer a loss because it devalues a car.

I look at most mods on pinball machines the same way. Modding is something you do because you like it but dont expect others to pay extra for it.

Sounds like we need to make that a new air freshener scent

Im not saying i wouldnt live in the moment but I dont need that instant gratification of new. When I start my own barcade Ill totally buy new because it keeps things fresh and will feed those who like that but for my own personal collection I'd rather wait.

I tried :/ over 2 hours I need a mod

I felt that way when people went from Guardians of the Galaxy to Iron Maiden to Deadpool.

I feel like there was huge regret from those who bought Guardians

I have owned my twilight zone for 4 years and I haven't gotten bored of it. For games with less variety the only solution to games that get old is to just have more games

Though this isnt all about getting bored and selling. I was more interested in those that get rid of games around day zero or shortly after owning them

With how less fixable a modern game is I sometimes wonder if that might be the case. All the remakes scare me because of how little is easily serviceable. Modern sterns with their modules that may not be compatible across the same game. I cant see myself keeping any out of the box game over a year or two with location abuse. That might change if the support is there like it is for the older games.
