New Year's resolution: no more keeping your steelbooks sealed. Everybody has to open their steelbooks from now on to fully appreciate the art and actual steelbook in its full Glory.
My New Year resolution: Bid farewell to Steelbook Collecting (except MCU). Feeling cured and better lol. Also gives me plenty of space at home for other things and a nod from the wife to upgrade to 4K UHD TV (65 or 75").
For over a year i am thinking about quitting the asia steelbook collecting thing. But never strong enough to do it. Whether or not, i hope my wife gives green light for a 65‘‘ UHD TV

Been considering this myself too lately. With Zavvi flooding the market with a steel for most movies, they feel less desirable now and recently I can't even justify owning several different company's release of a particular title. Might just stick to blufans for MCU and Hdzeta for DC and pick the odd one up here and there. Its a tough decision

It’s only a disaster if you buy to sell. If you buy to collect then it makes no difference
I am pretty sure that vast majority of long term collectors DO NOT buy spares to resell.Pretty sure a vast majority of us buy spares with the intention to resell and make a decent profit to fund a future purchase. I am not referring to bulk resellers, just the ones who buy one or two and floats them in the secondary market.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who buys premium steelbooks doesn't have one eye on their value long term
I don't buy to sell at a profit, I buy to keep and have a collection but even then I still think longer term
When I collect something I love, I don't resell. To me reselling in the long term is not even an option.

If you need to resell to fund this habit then basically you cannot really afford this hobby .
Unless you're planning to be buried with your steelbooks you or someone on your behalf will sell them eventually
But games are generally not collectable and once completed are as you say useless to keep.I guess I can't afford to be a gamer then because I trade my old games in against new ones to save money instead of just having a redundant collection of games i'm never going to pick up again
