They're pretty simple games with little replay value so they're being sold constantly now, just wait a decade and they might be much more difficult to find.

I'm looking through ebay right now and most of the games listed are the Japanese version, there are several listings of the US version for the first collection(4 listings) but only a few listings for the second collection(2 listings). Just for comparison, Bebe's Kids is listed as an R7 and there's currently 9 copies listed on ebay, most are priced around $10.

I personally want the games but I don't want to spend much on them and I don't think I'd ever be able to save enough points to get them, at least not enough points for both games. You need 800 points for each title, that's either 16 first party Wii games or 27 first party DS games for each collection. While I might have over 27 DS games, they're not all first party games. I just don't see how many people would get both collections by redeeming points, could there really be more than 2000-3000 copies of either collection?
There are other ways to earn points though including surveys, special promos, etc...Many of the Ebay sellers seem to be used game resellers who have simply registered a bunch of games and used the points to obtain multiple copies of each. In the two years or so since G&W came out in the US, I have never seen less than half a dozen available at any given time on Ebay. I suspect tens of thousands of copies of both were pressed and given that the first one is still available from Nintendo for points two years later makes it very unlikely there is any value there even if there is some numerical rarity compared to other games.
