Yes, "I've played it before" is a fallacious argument, because you'll want to play it again and greatly regret losing it... I know that I wish I still had pretty much all of the games I had but have lost for various reasons (Mega Man 4 and Kirby 1 for GB, Micro Machines V3, Zelda: Seasons, and Mario Deluxe for GBC (I still have those last two actually, but the carts broke...), and a group of five papersleeve PC CDs I lost four years ago or so... (Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament, MechCommander Gold, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Death Rally, and Worms Armageddon).
Of those, the only one I don't miss is Worms Armageddon. And that's because it was no improvement over Worms 2, and I have Worms 2.
In short, I like being the person buying the older games other people have sold to the store, not the one selling them. :) My buying habits carry that out... I buy a lot of used games... (can't help it for older consoles, it's not exactly possible to get new PS1 or SNES games anymore... and I've bought 4 SNES and 8 PS1 games within the last few weeks. :) The majority of my purchases for consoles still being sold are new... not all, but a majority.)
Oh, I keep boxes and manuals, but not necessarially the ad inserts and health/safety warnings... and of course used games very frequently don't include manuals, or even boxes...
