Things that you regret you sold

So I was trawling through youtube on the weekend, I watched a cool video about this dude in the US who has a game store and a personal collection out the back with like a complete N64 collection and a complete PSX collection and he has this big ass fireproof safe where he keeps his treasured and most vaulable stuff......

we get a glimpse inside it and he has this Atari game in there, I recognise it, Atari BMX Airmaster.... I say to myself, "why does he have that in there!!! must have been a favorite of his or something, I liked it..." I do some research and find that the game was released in small volume in Atari branding and lots in TNT. I have a knot in my stomach right now thinking I may have had the atari one, I remember the maroon outline on the box.... the box I kept safe...with the manual too... because I was anal like that with my video games...

I send both box pictures to my Brother overseas and ask him if he can remember which one we had (he is not a game nerd like me) and sure enough he picks the Atari one...




I am embarassed to say that I sold this as a bulk lot to my local pawnbroker some time in 1993 as a box lot with my 2600 and about 25 games.... for $30... Oh yeah, there was also a boxed copy of Ikari Warriors in there too..


100% I swear on my left nut this is true and I am kicking myself for it now...

I also gave away my fully boxed N64 with boxed Goldeneye (with 007 level savegame!) and boxed Banjo Kazooie..

 

regret selling my Sega Master System 2 and all the games :-(

also regret getting rid of my amstrad c464 + colour monitor + box full of games

 

dam that sucks

i know the video you mean. everything in that safe has either never come up for auction or rarely gets sold.

 

I regret selling my original copy of Pokemon blue the one I played as a kid with my save for 10p at a car boot sale. I was so stupid when I was younger.

 

I regret selling my entire GBA collection when I was younger.

I even sold my first pokemon game (thank god the bar-code fell off the actual GBA because Gamestop rejected it.)

 

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, man how much do I need that thing now.It's expensive as hell on eBay.Really nice accessory.

 

Half my PC collection. I tried to decide to be a console collector instead of a PC collector. I learned the hard way that you DO NOT sell PC games in lots! One lot had a sealed copy of Grim Fandango and a complete but open (for play) copy along with a ton of other games that sold on eBay for nearly nothing.

 

I had no idea. I had bag-fulls of those and kept giving them away, one as recently as late last year. I hope I still have some left. The functionality is the same as just setting up a second router behind your main one in WEP mode except then you don't have to worry about software, drivers, and OS support.

 

I regret throwing away my SNES mini and N64 while moving away as a kid. I didn't know how much fun they would be in the future with an Everdrive. The only games I had then were the Pokemon Stadium, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario World, and Street Fighter II. Curse my obsession with 90s TV instead of video games.

I probably regret selling off a Devil Summoner 2 sealed, but I guess the set was clogging up my room and I don't really know what to do with stuffed toys anyway.

I was searching for a Nintendo Wifi USB adapter a few years ago, but then I saved the money and bought a cheapo router that I occasionally take out and connect with my modem. The signal may be unsecure, but I only use it for up to 10 minutes at a time.

 

I totally regret giving away my huge collection of gameboy color bootlegs from when i was younger. Man i had a bunch. My dad would bring them home sometimes as gifts haha. Gotta love the middle east back then. Luckily i still have the cool pokemon ones.

 

One thing I really regret is spending the undated 20p piece that I had a year or two ago. At one point the 20p coins were pressed in an error with no date on and I remember one time noticing two different 20p coins I had were different but didn't realise how significant it was until a couple of days later, after which the coin was carelessly spent somewhere. They were selling on eBay for crazy prices in the first place, £5000 was around the crazy price, a lot of sales were for £200 maybe more maybe less. The coin I had was in spanking condition and would have been perfect for a collector, unfortunately for me this was before I started collecting coins, it was actually what got me started off checking my coins, you never know what comes through your hands.

 

As a former coin collector, that hurts, man!

 

I regret selling Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. That was a good game.

 

64DD Dev kit. You don't even want to know what I paid for it, which is why I didn't have many regrets about selling it. Of course it's worth a small fortune now

 

I regret allowing my mother to sell off my NES and all NES games at one of her garage sales for dirt cheap when I was a kid. I have since gotten another NES and more games than I ever had for it when I was a kid, so all is good now.

 

I'm starting to regret selling my mint condition US version of Albert Odyssey. When the fuck did this become a PDSaga-like priced game? I remember buying mine for like $60.

 

A sandwich toaster/waffle maker that my sister bought me as a present. My ex girlfriend didn't think I should be eating unhealthy food and refused to use it and then persuaded me to put it on ebay.

 

Amazing. *goes and makes waffles*

 

I regret trading away a decent size of PS1 and DC games for a Game Cube. I had and still have a blast playing GC but the money spend buying back these games hasn't been cheap. Only other regret is killing my NES I grew up with. The thing was a tank until I decided to fix what wasn't really broken. Hurray for my stupidity.

 

Not sold, but what I regret not buying is the Dreamcast bba. We had dial up for ages, Didn't' seem we would get high speed. $200 Eventually we did. I did not make the same mistake with the Gamecube bba. There was also that PSO Ep 1&2+...
