The online market is quite capable of price bumping stuff like Pogo Island and Backyard Football quickly and when demand and rarity par down you get the kind of prices that the G&W collections are going for now. I've seen more copies of Game & Watch Collection in the used GS sections than I have Monopoly/Battleship... .
Drop the 'rare' from you DS vocab and focus on 'demand' games. Those will net you the RPG's and other things that are pulling the money. The truly rare shit isn't being bought because its horrible crap filler titles and they just arn't worth anything. People are buying the good games, big name publisher games and games in the desired genres (RPG's ect).
I do a few simple things when it comes to DS games, and I've got more than my fair share of DS games (400+ US titles and counting). RPG's, no matter the company, are buys (and close to day 1 buys often, especially the smaller publishers because when they fall off the shelves, they tend to be gone) and buy all Nintendo published titles. There is enough first party games that are still selling for near retail or more that they arn't stupid buys.
That said however, i've also paid out way more than I'll ever make back on my DS games, having bought like I have. Close to what i've spent on my PS collection, which is twice the size before variants and other stuff i've gotten and I don't expect to make that much back on either collection if I do get to a selling point.
