Do you like buying used games?

My {3DS is actually a used or a barely used one that i bought from a friend not too long ago so with my 3Ds library i have a bunch of used games on it, including some NDS ones that some friends handed over. Bravely Default is currently one of my used copies and im goad that a friend was kind enough to at least sell it for peanuts cheap.

So what's your opinion on the SNES Classic? Would that still scratch that itch in collecting old school games, or would you only be satisfied if you had the separate physical cartridges?

I really hate the SNES Classic, actually. Granted my opinion of it has been kind of tainted because of the way that they announced it immediately after cancelling the run of the NES Classic and it really just feels like a cashgrab to me now, but even then owning digital copies of games doesn't give that feeling of ownership that I want when I buy copies of retro games,

While fairly expensive, Mario games are pretty much everywhere. They're not expensive due to their rarity, but because people love them and because it's Mario. So, with a bit of patience and research, you're bound to find the right deal! That's why I love flea markets and garage sales.

Usually, the most expensive games aren't the ones you'd expect.. :P

Like how Super Smash Bros Melee is 50 bucks

So does it annoy you then how Star Fox 2 is only available digitally through the SNES Classic?
 
As long as it works and comes with the case, manual and whatever else it comes with, then I don't have a problem buying used. Which is good, since there are still plenty of older games that I'd like to get that go for waaaaay too much new.
 
I will buy used games if they are rare (near-impossible to find new), or are in good enough condition that they're practically new. I won't get flea market games if they are sticky, damaged, or covered in dust.

However, if the used game costs $30 and the new copy is $35, I'll just get the new copy.
 
I only tend to buy used games only for older systems. Usually GB. GBA, or DS games. There was an instance where I bought a GB game with a dead battery, so I'd rather just emulate those games now. I have gotten plenty of working GBA and DS games though.
