I saw this on one of the gaming blogs

Here's a choice quote.
"I think sealed collecting is more than an investment. A game which you played more than 40 hours for example is a part of your life. You can remember those days if anyone announce the name of the game. And if you get a sealed copy of this game you can remember those days every time you pass it :)!
What is your philosophy of sealed collecting? More than an simple investment?"
If you are a collector that's fine. I'm one too. But this seems a bit much.

I dunno, I like playing my games.
Ask sonarrat, I think he collects sealed games to resell.
-
i used to keep a bunch of sealed games. then i got married, ran into hard times and sold them or played them.

Buying to sell sealed games is fine and dandy. You might make a profit. But just having sealed games to collect feels like overkill.

I'm a collector in that I love having a lot of games and I almost never trade in or get rid of stuff...but I don't keep stuff sealed. These things were made to be played, and since I have no intention of reselling them, I am not going to go nuts keeping them in "mint" condition.

I'm the same way. I buy way more than I'm able to play and never sell/trade 99.5% of what I own. But, I love having them.
