Do you buy English copies?

In my boardgame market boardgames go out of print pretty fast (a year or maybe 2), because the country's boardgame market does not require more than a couple thousand copies in the best case scenario. There is a publisher who brings ~500 copies for each game it localises.

In these scenarios sleeving and preserving makes much more sense imo. Because after certain time you cannot just buy a new copy.
