¿Question #5071?
skelebone: Would you buy a new game just so you could trade it away for something you wanted more?

ocdspectrum: I have done this a few times to trade for something out of print and save on shipping costs (as I had it delivered from Amazon).
oldhoss: Maybe if it was a trade for a OOP game. Otherwise, I don't see the point.
ctimmins: No, but I'd pirate a new game to swap it for something else.
PinkyMan: Mwahah. Yes. And I have done that very thing.
alcazar84: yes
sweetgotham: If the price was good and I knew I could make a good trade for it, sure
Cringing Dragon: Yes, and I have.
Woelf: Only if I desperately needed that other game and couldn't simply buy it directly. So, probably not.
jondunc: Only if I was off my meds that day.
Boxatoys: If the new game cost less than what I was trading for then you bet!
theTak: Yes, if I knew someone wanted the new game but didn't want to buy it (i.e. I buy and trade to them for what they already have).
Felimid: No.
pwilz: Sure, doesn't that make good rational sense?
louiseh: No

aleo09: sure
jcarvin: I've done it many times

Benzebub: Nope.
Kent.Landis: Never!!

scriptorum: Clever idea but no, haven't done so yet.
puffinge: This question reeks
jttm: Nope
Lord_Prussian: I have and I would
CDRodeffer: Yes. I've often bought stuff that's easy to get in the US and traded with people overseas for stuff that's easy to get there, but which neither is readily available to the other.
scubadawg1: Yes, especially if I could get the new game cheap!
CortexBomb: If the new game combined with the shipping costs and inconvenience of the trade ended up being a deal
Spielfreak: no
sos1: Yes, of course, if that's the only way to get it.
chaddyboy_2000: I most certainly would, and already have.
skelebone: I've done that, and it's worked for me.
