With ebay and amazon, none of them are particularly hard to find. And that definitely made it a fun thing to collect for. It never seemed unattainable.
That said, it can be difficult to find some of the games for a "fair" price. I did pretty well on Amazon, but ebay was pretty much worthless. Almost everything there was considerably marked up.
The used shops around the state were really good to me, but after I hit ~150 games I just couldn't find anything in them. I'd take a day on the weekend and drive to 5 or 6 stores, dig through a couple hundred DC games and leave with nothing.
Power Stone 2 and Giga Wing 2 are probably the games I spent the longest actively trying to find, and ultimately I paid more for them than I would've liked. That said, neither were hard to find. I don't think there has been a time where I looked and I couldn't find a copy for sale.

Yes, true. I feel pretty fortunate to have most of the DC accessories for real good prices back in the day.
Check out my collection on the respective thread here. Tho I haven't updated that thread in a while -_-
You're so close! How could you not! You seem to have all the expensive games (and accessories!) too!
I like that you've got all the SAS variants too. I keep going back and forth on buying those.
The import library has a lot of great games, but most of what interests me in it is priced much higher than my desire to have it.
As for duds! Maybe there aren't a lot of genuine duds. But there are certainly a lot of games that haven't aged well. And in a lot of cases the DC versions are now considered inferior to more modern releases (most of the fighting game library, unfortunately). It certainly makes owning most of it a novelty (a novelty that I happen to love).
