this is not typically something that i EVER struggle with. i get bigger dilemmas out of where or what i'm going to eat than what game i'm going to buy out of the stack that i've picked up in the store. but it depends. if i'm on ebay, i might bid on a few with low reserves and a couple of days left with no real anticipation of winning the auction... if i do, wonderful, if not, who cares; no harm, no foul. and i check and see what they go for and repeat until i feel that i really want to win that game and actually place a bid. it also depends on the condition/shipping and whatnot.
if i'm in a store or something - and since we're in the legacy forum, i'm assuming that we're buying used in a place like gamestop or the like - i usually check the prices, check the sales and check to see if they come with the instructions; if they have more than one copy in case that one doesn't work, and like someone else said, if the price is fair, it's rare and i want it... i pretty much get it. decision made.
the "quarter method" is also useful to employ when dealing with thougher, more narrowed down coundrums.
