The only DS game I've ever sold back was DKR DS. As much as I was glad to get it out of my collection, I still miss it from time to time and wish I could play it. But this is only because I have a craving for portable DKR. Then I remember how bad the remake was and the craving goes away.
Since then, I've made absolutely sure that I will play the crap out of and wholeheartedly enjoy every game I buy BEFORE I buy it.

I saw you three times quoting and in other topics,,,,,nothing to say AT ALL........hmm?
Oh my gosh, I am with you. I sold mine on ebay for mad money. I now wish I had kept it and played it over and over and over until my game killed itself from torture of spinning to much.
I have always just kept my games, simply because the trade-in value is so low. Who knows, maybe I should re-evaluate my strategy for the future (seeing as I have boxes of old NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, and PS2 games sitting in boxes), but it often turns out the sentimentality of past games is worth more to me than the measly trade-in offers I find from most places.
I used to trade in games if I got tired of it. I dont do it anymore because the stores give you practically NOTHING for the games, then turn around and sell them for way more. I just hold on to them, who knows I may want to play them sometime soon.
if its a great game (hotel dusk, lunar knights, ffxll:rw, etc) or has replay value ill keep it. otherwise i just trade it in, never sale it back...lose money doing that!!
I keep the games I like and trade in the ones I don't like. I traded in a couple games a few days ago and got $45 dollars. It wasn't much, but if I don't like it, I can at least get some money for it ;)
i usually don't buy games unless i know i'll like them...and i almost always keep them all. though i do need to get rid of a bunch of older ones that i don't play anymore.
lol nah i like keepin my games because usally i have an urge to go back and play them again, plus i like to have a big collection so yea.........unless the game really sucks then ill probaby trade it.
1. Sometimes after I sell them, I get bored and want to play them again.
2. Once I went through my games for what I wanted to get rid of and accidentally sold a couple of games I still wanted to play. Luckily I am friends with the guy who owns the place I sold them at and he let me have them back for the store credit he gave me. I felt so stupid. I accidentally put FF7 and 9 in the sell pile without realizing it.
haha, king_of_metal, that was pretty dumb of you. But at least you got your games back. That's the good part. That guilt and agony you feel everytime you realize that the game(s) you're craving to play is no longer in your collection is totally not worth the amount of store credit you get when you sell or trade-in the game(s). You're better off just renting the games if all you're going to do is sell them back once you beat them.
And speaking of that, why the heck would you sell games once you beat them, as a personal routine? Don't you think you'd ever want to play those games again? This, I feel, is the easiest way to set yourself up for the guilt and agony I mentioned earlier.
Buy games you definitely want and keep them. Rent the games you're unsure of. End of story.
