¿Question #1529?
Blackwind: When you find a used game, do you go out of your way to see if it's complete?

ocdspectrum: I usually go in my way, not out of it.
LoupSolitaire: I already do that with new games, I don't want to have to do it by the off chance some asshole is trying to sell me a used, incomplete copy?
branex: How does one find a sued game?
aceclimber: Yes... And it's slightly worrying!
Woelf: I almost never buy used games.
Myok: No, it's usually evident in the start-up screen.
DnDDmDb: I don't like buying used games.
TunaSled: Always.
FlippDurch: I never find games. Maybe they lie around only in USA?
Spirit of 70: Yes.
Felimid: I try to.
ExcitingJeff: No.
Kobold Curry Chef: Nope. I hate people who do that.
Randy Cox: Not usually.
vandemonium: Sorta, kinda.
Couggar: usually
Capitaine Grappin: Depends of the game, I don't count the 360 plastic soldiers in RISK
chockle: Yes, oddly enough, it's important to me to see if anything is missing
bigbadsteve: depends on the game. i dont feel like counting out hundreds of counters in a goodwill store, but if it a low number of pieces, i will check
Spart02: Yes
Eric Haas: Yes
Tall_Walt: Whenever possible.
aleo09: depends.. mostly yes
DHEK: Not out of my way, but within reason. I mean, you don't want to pay good money for a game you find out later that you can't play because it's missing some vital component, right?
WalkerRedEye: well it woudl depend on what was missing ifn it was vital yes ifn it wasnt then probably not
onky: YEs.
werwolf: depends on age and wear
Karmic_devil: depends on the price
JDDudrey: Yes
heavymetalhamster: I've never found a used game I'm interested in. :-(
Thesp: Yes.
Beelzebub: Yes
brainrob: Yes
Lardarse: Yes, and I usually don't replace it if there is anything important missing. That doesn't include the dice, of course ;-)
vampywife: not too far out, it depends on where i find it, though
interhawk: yes
Melantha: Yep. Even if it means sitting down on the thrift store floor to count bits.
ststrat: yes
ZombyDawg: Depends on the price.
Beowulf: Yes, email is a wonderful thing.
LemonyFresh: Yes
SenorOcho: Yes
Sheylon: Yes.
Akke: yes
Dinky_Gnatbane: Yes, I carry a small knife for just that reason.
POvidiusNaso: Yup.
beakermyers: Absolutely!
xlorp: The hassle factor of fixing an OOP and incomplete game is quite high.
axarca: I have sat on the floor of the thrift store for up to 45 minutes checking parts and counting cards before buying a game for $2.99...so, I might have to say, "Yes."
GrandpaDave: No
DonO: Depends on whether I'm looking for a complete game, or just want some of the parts. Old Risk games with wooden pieces at garage sale prices are very nice for generic parts.
obob: if I have any interest in it
Mikebegeta: yes
Ludocrazy: yes
Bahamut-X: Not a lot of used game here...
Andy Parsons: Yes
Gecko23: If possible.
lwheeler: Yes
2amp: depends on the price
Majiken: Depends on the game.
Mike A: Yes, but if I found it then it's not out of my way, it is directly in my way.
Favre4MVP: I don't know if I'd consider it "going out of my way", but I check to see if the pieces are there. Unless I'm paying 50 cents at a garage sale or something...then I'll just glance at the condition.
scriptorum: Yes
Lord_Prussian: Sometimes. If I intend on playing it any time in the near future I do.

djfilms: no
MisterCranky: Sure, if it's mine
snoozefest: na
netfilterz: yes
jmagnini: yes
Windopaene: depends on if I'm in a hurry and if the store has a return policy
heli: n
AWildEep: Yup
erli: No, I go out of my way to see if it smells
Tim Synge: Nope, I stay where I am and count the pieces off against the instructions.
fanboy: yes
puffinge: I will briefly look through it.
BengalBandit: Absolutely.
batman: No
djlg: Yes. (But how far do you have to go? Just count up the pieces.)
isolated: No. Just to see if it has enough parts to be playable.
AlorielLelyn: Yes
chaddyboy_2000: Yes.
Ryno8: no
gnomehome: It depends on the price and how much I want the game.
Belash: no
tragicpoet: Nah, when I find them they're usually only a buck or two. I'm a gambler
ptper: yes
CortexBomb: Yes
CDRodeffer: Yes
TG Mittler: yes
louiseh: Yes. Which in one occasion led to my leaving the game board in the shop having unpacked and repacked the game :-(
jttm: Yes
HBGlover: Yes. I make sure my new games are complete as well.
Spielfreak: Not until I get home with it. I wouldn't deem this "going out of my way", though.
skelebone: Yep, once I get it home, it's time for a part count.
sos1: If possible
Blackwind: Yes.
