    My white model 2 Saturn with matching game pads, 3d controllers and racer wheel. I kept my black (jp) virtua guns but can't use them now 'cause I have an LCD TV...

    All my JP Saturn games including boxed Vampire Saviour with Ram, not to menion Iron Chef Kitchen Stadium Tour!

    A SNES Collection including almost all the good/rare US releases including Earthbound, FF III, Chrono Trigger etc. Sold the whole lot (70+ games) for $700 when I was short on my rent one month.

    My Laserdisc player with 30+ discs including Star Wars 9-disc set and Legend of Overfiend and Legend of Demon Womb uncut discs.

    Oh god, too many things. I would probably have a huge collection if I didn't sell any of my games. The worst part is that i sold most of them when I was elementary/middle school to gamestop/EB games because my mom's theory was, "If you've already beat them or don't play them much anymore, sell them".

    I sold my ps1, ps2, gamecube, gameboy advance, and most of the games that came with them. Some of the titles that went along with this include Digimon Rumble Arena, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Tales of Symphonia, Warioware Twisted, Warioland 4, Spyro 1 and 2, Crash 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Kirby and The Amazing Mirror, Donkey Kong Country (gba), etc (and that's just from what I can remember off the top of my head).

    Oh yea, and I traded my Pokemon Crystal with some kid for some dumb Crash Bandicoot gba game because I was really into Crash. On top of that, I ended up selling it anyways. Ouch.

    I kept some of the games to this day, but half of them don't work or were bad games in the first place. I have since learned my lesson and don't sell games anymore.

    Oh, and I don't know if this thread is for games I regret not buying too, but I remember being bummed that I didn't have enough birthday money saved to buy Digimon Rumble Arena 2. That game goes for a pretty penny now.

    I kinda regret selling my PAL Sega Saturn a little bit. It was the first model, and it was brand-new. The original owner bought it new as a back-up console and only took the RGB-cable out for use, everything else was untouched. Now I wish I didn't sell it... sigh.

    I regret selling my entire SNES collection when I was younger - which included many RPG classics. I also regret selling my original copy of Legend of Mana for PS1.

    I am slowly rebuilding said SNES collection, and one day I will purchase Legend of Mana again.

    The only item I regret selling is my PAL CIB copy of Knights of the Round for the SNES. Got a nice price for it, but it's much harder and expensive to get a copy of it nowadays.

    I traded my PAL copies of Streetfighter Collection and Burning Rangers on Saturn for Perfect Dark Zero when the 360 came out, stupidly, I knew how much the games were worth but the GAMEStation I worked in had a trade price of £20 each for them..... Perfect Dark Zero is worth like £2 now -_-

    I'd have to say I regret selling my 1st PS2 Slim with all the games, mostly because it's been a pain to get my entire collection back since... :\

    My whole collection. I had a ton of stuff like 6+ years ago and I sold it all off as I met my wife and we had a daughter and I just had to use it to fund the initial part of our relationship (she lived in another state and I moved) I think the item I miss the most is my 64DD. I had a whole boxed Randnet one with a bunch of games and the mic and such that I had one on Ebay many years beforehand. I still tell people about it to this day.

    Oooh, been there, done that, although I only had about 10-12 titles for it and they were mostly cack, although I still wish I kept it just for T2K, but I got a decent price for it and only paid ~£20 for the whole lot from Gamestation.

    Biggest sellers regret I have so far would be my "Black Knight" pinball table, bought it broken, fixed it up, had a few years fun with it but then had to move it on due to lack of space. I'd buy another one if I could, but got far too much on my plate as it is.

    Also sold a Rainbow Islands arcade PCB, really enjoyed playing that but I got offered a price I couldn't refuse.

    You'll have to prise my Twilight Zone pinball, TNZS pcb and my Robotron cocktail from my cold dead hands though!

    I need to sell my Nintendo Wii and some games for a new computer, but i'm starting to think if i will regret in the future, or i'll just play them on a emulator. I know that emulators are not the big deal, but i'm still deciding :/

    I regret selling off my extremely rare PS2 game Rule of Rose. At the time I thought it couldn't possibly have that much worth since it was such an unnoticed game...then I checked how much they go for on eBay many years later...it haunts me to this day

    I also regret selling my launch Dreamcast to my Douchebag ex-bestfriend, that developed a cocaine addiction years later and sold it for more crack

    That's just life. You regret things but move on and learn from your mistakes...

    I regret selling my Original Xbox in favor of my Xbox 360. Despite the problems it had with the disk tray, I missed playing all of the games I've had with it, and I've nearly sold my entire collection of Original Xbox games, with the exception of some games that are compatible with my Xbox 360. Since I don't have an Original Xbox anymore, I'm definitely going to miss playing Voodoo Vince & ToeJam & Earl 3 (two games that were sadly not compatible with the Xbox 360.). I haven't sold my copy of ToeJam & Earl 3, because I loved playing it so much, and I had to keep it to remind me of the memories I've had with my Original Xbox.

    I regret selling everything I ever sold that was gaming related. My first SNES, DMG, N64, Gamecube, all my Dreamcast games (some cool Stuff: 3rd strike, Rez, Shenmue etc.) Back then I was young and needed the dough to buy a 2008 Mac Pro for work. I’m still working on that machine but man, those games and systems …

    /Edit: Awww, I’m going through my eBay history now.

    Lufia CIB (great shape): 25€
    Shenmue CIB: 10€
    AeroWings CIB: 1€ :(
