[General Discussion] Do you buy used games/consoles?

I buy quite a few used games. I'm a budget shopper through and through, and while I've gotten a ton of cheap new games and prefer them, I also have quite a collection of used ones I've gotten from pawn shops and to a lesser extent Gamestop/EB (EB was nice when they used to sell used PC games, Gamestop's prices are usually a bit high for used unless you can get in on some kind of deal). Generally I find games in good condition used, there's only been a few that haven't worked right or had really noticable scratches, and most of those I ended up trading into Gamestop for more than I paid for them. Although it's partially also a morality issue since effectively buying used games isn't really any better than piracy to the people that made the game, since they aren't getting any money off of the sale.

For systems, I virtually always buy new systems now, with two exceptions: I got a used Gamecube in a pawnshop for pretty cheap (still works fine to this day, and looked to be in good condition) and I also got a backup Dreamcast in case my main one that I bought on launch day goes out, although it's still doing just fine. The new systems I don't trust much to buy used though, they really don't seem like they would handle being misused very well so I don't plan on picking them up unless they're factory sealed.
