Have you ever bought a game for a system you don't own?

Unacceptable!

I've bought games for systems I didn't have, but would proceed to buy the system either as part of said transaction or immediately following at another store.

Bought Die Hard Arcade before I bought a Sega Saturn. I had played the actual arcade so much, I felt I just had to get it.

I bought a control stick for the sms without owning one. I saw the plug and thought, "Hey, this is a genesis plug!" I was half-right. While it is for the master system, it totally works on the genny and makes for a nice change...

I found a 20-gig HDD for 360 on clearance for $17, and bought it, knowing that I would own a 360 at some point. A year later, I built up a ton of store credit by "flipping" used games between Gamestop and Blockbuster, turning $100 cash into $200 credit over the course of about 3 weeks, and picked up a 360 Arcade bundle. Brand-new 20-gig 360 for $117 FTW!

God, I'm so cheap it's pathetic...

Lol, it's not being cheap if it's smart.

Just to make sure I understand what was happening here, you bought a used game from one store, then sold it to another store at a profit?

Well done sir.

I've not only bought games for systems I didn't own, I've also bought portions of games for a foreign system I didn't own (found a prototype for Detonator Organ for the Mega Drive CD).

I bought Bug! and Daytona USA months before I got a Saturn.

I also bought a Super Famicom game when I don't have one, though I could just mod my SNES to play it.

I also bought Doom, After Burner, and Star Wars Arcade for 32X several months before I finally got one.
