I have 37 games and 28 of them are pre owned, do you buy preowned games? or are you willing to pay the full price just to have it straight away?

I have never bought any game pre-owned. I usually get new games, as £30 for a good decent game is ok. I have bought some cheap games as I wanted Alias but didnt want to spend £30 so got it for £16.99 brand new. Just got Soul Calibur 2 and Jak 2 both PS2 games for £10.99 and £17.99. GAME just had a 24 hour sale and got Final Fantasy X-2 for £12.99. So I try and get games that I want a few months down the line in the sales or special offer. If its a game I really want then I will get it full price. Pre-owned games could be dodgy, scratched disc, crappy case etc, I like nice neat cases, manuals and discs. My games collection is in perfect condition, even games that I got with my PS1 back in 1996 are perfect.

I rarely buy pre-owned, but the cheapest I've ever seen is Die Hard Vendetta for GameCube at £1.99

It was selling for 99p in the same shop brand new.

I know it's a bad game, but the cheapest game I bought was £4.99 for pro cast fishing, in game of all places.

I hardly ever buy pre-owned games. If they are cheap I'll buy them, but that doesn't happen very often.

If I get Castle Wolfenstein off Cyclone that'll be the first pre-owned game I've bought since the N64 and PS1 era.

EDIT: During this time I was young and skint, therefore couldn't afford every game brand new
