[General Discussion] You gave away THAT?

I've had few instances of me allowing something to be traded (fortunately), but one that sticks out in my mind a great deal is Final Fantasy II (the SNES one). I traded it to a friend in exchange for Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. Really really really really bad idea. I was fortunate enough to snag another copy of it, but only in exchange for another really really bad idea. I traded Super Castlevania IV for it. Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to get that one back.

How ya doing, buddy?

Unfortunately for me it's not a lack of copies barring me from acquiring it, since I can always go on eBay, it's a lack of funds >_<.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Who really cares, you beat the game already, are you really willing to replay it to put another 80 hours into it for 100% completion?

RPGs, I get rid of once I complete 100%. What else is their left to do?

I don't see why most gamers collect and horde this stuff AT ALL.

It's simple. Nostalgia.

I for one like to go back and play a game I may have 100%ed simply because the story was so good or because it was just really fun to play. Selling a game just because you've beaten it is akin to throwing a book you just finished in the trash.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, selling off a book is a lot different then chucking it in the trash .

I guess I'm a rare breed then, since I hoard every game I buy... with minor exceptions, of course .
