[quote name='TooPoor']Yeah it is a deal breaker for me. Call me mad, it really is. It's a math freak OCD thing. Good thing is, I have a backlog that is less than 5 games, and have played almost all the games I am most interested in, but at a later date. I really have ∞ patience when it comes to waiting for games to drop. I somewhat developed my own pace/algorithm of optimally refreshing the backlog, and make sure the games I just finished is bought cheapest, but traded back in time before the TiV completely dips.
Well, it would break me it it had the

version

. I have one "slot" per month for purchasing a game that is >=$9.99, after shipping + tax - cashback from CB networks and credit cards, and it's currently empty![/QUOTE]
You should try selling games on eBay instead of trading them in. I've sold hundreds over the years, and have only had a few problems w/ customers. Outside of the games I've bought (for which I obviously haven't yet been reimbursed) I have probably recouped 90+% of the money I've paid, even after eBay/Paypal fees and shipping costs. Like you, I'm also very frugal about what/when I purchase, but selling on eBay--and getting back more money for your games--might make it easier for you to justify adding to your backlog!
