Collecting VGM CDs is addictive because their circulation is not as big as pop music CDs, and very often they will not get reprinted, meaning if you don't buy it now, be prepared to pay double or triple the cost on eBay. In fact, it's exciting to buy soundtracks of games that you know are niche games. I never really have to worry about not getting the latest Final Fantasy OSTs because they are so popular, but I always look out for soundtracks from Nintendo. They don't seem to publish a lot of OSTs.
There are some soundtracks I regretted not buying when they were first available, such as Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. It was $30 when it first became available on eBay, a few years later it's over $100.
But of course, I buy what I like to listen, not buying them just because I think they might go up in value.
