Yeah, as I've said before, I don't buy games intending to resell them, and I probably never will.

As BaB mentioned...they have a terrible resell value anyway. You can sell an NES game for what, $1 or $2? Why even bother, even if you have a ton of games you aren't going to get much out of them. I place more value than a couple of dollars on the memorabilia and nostalgia factor alone.

There are a few exceptions where games are worth more than they were to begin with, whenever they become rare. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS2 is one of them, which I own. But even though it's worth quit a bit more than I paid for it, I'd still rather own the game and be able to say I have it. Besides, the price for it probably dropped quite a bit whenever the 360 remake came out anyway.

Games don't really make good collector's items IMO, if you're intent is to sell them at some point.

Another good reason for using the VC is that the games look better on an HD TV. I had an NES plugged up to my HDTV a couple of weeks ago, and it did weird things with the colors, as well as just removing pieces of the graphics.
