Do you sell your games? Why?

[AntRid]

I’ve traded in games in the past but now I just hang onto them. It’s not really worth it.

I sold my Gamecube as well as a bunch of games a couple years ago. Figured I should sell it while it was still worth something. I kept the few games I just had to keep however, which was Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine and Resident Evil Zero. I sold around 10 games, and I don't miss any of them, so it was a good call I suppose.

I really can't sell any games that are even kinda fun. I get urges to play games I don't have. I can only sell boring games.

I never sell my games because:

1) I'm very discerning about the games I buy, so the games I own are ones that I want to come back to again years later.

2) I don't believe in buying of used games. To me buying a used game is the same as pirating a copy, as the developer gets no money either way. I pay for games I feel are worth supporting the developer, and go the much cheaper route for games I just want to try out.

I only very rarely sell or trade my games. I'm a conservative video game buyer, I usually only buy I know I'd like (Dynasty Warriors, Tekkens, Soul Caliburs) or games that I know will be good (Bayonetta, Little Big Planet).

I can't remember the last game I sold personally, but while my girlfriend was in China, I volunteered to sell off her old Sims 2 and all the expansions she had (which was everything 'cept the 'Stuff' packs) and buy her Sims 3 with the moneys earned.

I'm also wanting to get rid of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. It came free with the PS3 my girlfriend gave me and it's an awful awful game.

I get urges to play games again after a long time so I hang onto mine.

I don't trade my games because I generally only buy stuff I like and will want to play again eventually. The only exception in recent history was GTA4. I traded it while it was still worth a decent amount at EB so I could get Killzone 2. Since I found GTA4 boring as hell and Killzone 2 was actually fun, I don't regret it one bit.

I have no problem trading in games that I know I will never touch again. Games like New Super Mario Bros. for DS or Pokemon Pearl I had not played for roughly six months before selling them, and I still have never felt the urge to play through any game I've sold again (plus since those two were popular Nintendo games I got $25 for each). It also helps that I have a local store called Entertainmart that actually buys used games for a decent price (and sells used movies, games, and CD's at quite low prices). I have no problem buying used games either; if not for that I would own no games for my PS2 (rather than twenty), and only three for my 306 (instead of nine). Plus being able to get Silent Hill 2 for $10 and Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 for $30 makes me a happy man.

Unless it's a game I didn't like/don't plan to play again, I usually never sell games. There's always the chance a friend will want to borrow it, or I'll get nostalgic and want to pop the game in for a while.

I'm a collector at heart so the idea of selling a game is complete blasphemy to me. Though I do buy games that suit my taste so I genuinely love the majority of my collection and lord knows nothing is more satisfying that looking up rare games on ebay or Amazon.com only to discover you are sitting on a small fortune. I once had a friend come over and he saw my collection of PS1 games and was just floored at all the rare titles I own, he then threatened to murder me and steal my collection after I showed him my NES collection.

Hell I'm constantly looking for games to add to my collection and have been taking great advantage of the new console generation to finally pick up all the PS2 titles I wanted for cheap. I really need to start getting in on the Gamecube as well since I own a Wii...

I don't sell games because I only buy the ones that I really like.
