You gave valid points. It is necessary to ensure that you are getting a game that is in the right condition as that would make it better than collecting the ones that are not in good condition.

One tip that I always follow is checking the market value. I use several price tracking websites and eBay to know the average price of specific games I want to buy.

This way, I know if someone is trying to rip me off, and I have more power when negotiating.

I was just wondering if anyone still collects physical copies of games? Video Game History Foundation did a study in 2023 and found that 90 percent of classic games that were released before 2010 are either unavailable or difficult to find.
