Yesterday I found a mostly complete copy of Chrono Trigger SNES for $60 (box, game, maps) and I couldn't bring myself to fork over the money to replace my loose one that I've owned for many years now. My loose Chrono Trigger was bought for $36 locally. My SNES collection is mostly loose games, maybe 10% of the 40 or so games I own have anything resembling a box.

I find it hard to replace any loose game I own with a complete one unless the complete one is very cheap.

Am I worred too much about condition? I am not out to resell, but then I often wonder if I've overpayed for a large portion of my collection, the SNES in particular. I know I'll never have a SNES collection that is complete in box, but does it matter that much for resale value?

Other cases in point: my loose copies of GENESIS Shining Force 2 ($33), Master of Monsters ($10), SEGACD Lunar Eternal Blue ($35), Popful Mail ($38)
