I'm a bit of both, but mainly collector it does irk me though when I see people buying stuff just to flip at a higher price.

Last weekend I was at the local media store in Colorado Springs that I hit every week to see what comes in, out of the corner of my eye I noticed one of the sales guys I know has a copy of Tales of Destiny in his hands for $20. I quickly ran over to him but he mentioned that another of his regular customers already had the game along with some other nice ones. Oh well, a bit too late I thought, it's only a video game.

As I was checking out though I mention to him that my wife and I really enjoy the Tales series and it's too bad we missed it, and he said "Well, you can buy it from the guy that bought it, he runs a game store". It was so disheartening! I wouldn't mind if a collector or someone who would play it got it, but to be snatched from my clutches just to be resold is so sad
