I never said I don't want any cheap games, or I want a collection of only expensive games. I said, I would rather have a collection of complete, semi rare or import games in good condition that is small, than a large collection of extremely common games in bad condition. I'm not going to collect for the NES without getting Duck Hunt, but that game goes for very cheap.
I'm not after sealed games either, and I've never met anyone with an entirely sealed game collection. If I see one for cheap I'll pick it up.
Anyway, I live in an area with a plethora of thrift stores and flea markets, and sometimes there are good finds there, but most of the time they aren't in the condition I want.
Also, I mainly collect for the X68000, which is a Japanese computer, so I VERY rarely come across a game for it here. If any of you do collect for the X68k, you will know that complete boxes have a LOT of things in them. While NES games have a manual, styrofoam, a sleeve, and a cart, occasionally a map. X68000 games have all sorts of different box inclusions, trading cards, hardcover books, Mini-CD's with soundtracks, concept art books, etc.. Part of the reason it's one of my favorite systems to collect for. Whatever floats your boat though, don't mean to put down people who prefer cartridges over CIB. Just my personal preference ^_^
