    the cd32 with the SX-32 PRO outfitted...
    20g 2.5' high density hdd, three floppy drives, IBM ata keyboard, 10 socket midi interface for studio equipment (5pin DIN) various music keyboards of the day (roland, korg, yamaha, casio ect) and a LOT of retail software!
    THAT's what i regret letting go...
    why some of my posts on that subject are sore! (CBM lifer before and ABOVE all else)
    .....
    next would be the 'multi-mega'...a crazy combination unit of a megadrive and a mega-cd, played audio cd's ON THE GO, no mains required, via 4x c-cell! (unless it's gaming) what a groovy little box that was!
    ...
    NEVER seen a cd32 again in the state i parted with mine, nor have i ever encountered another multi-mega... :(

    Hope you at least got some good cash for the Multi-Mega, because they're damn expensive now.

    ^^ that's the truth! :friendly_wink: (seen sales exceed a k online but my eyes never seen anymore units IRL)
    ...
    got five hundred GBP for it, that was over six years ago. (when half a tonne was a shit)
    ....
    lessons learned!
    i'm a hoarder as a result, sooner huck it in a corner and forget about it rather than sell it and desire it back again after the fact!

    I wish I hadn't sold my 12" Boba Fett, C3PO, R2D2 and Chewbacca figures.

    Man reading this thread makes me glad my mom would not let me give away for throw out anything. I still have all my n64 boxes and manuals that i ever bought because of her. But when i was 18 i sold my entire library of ps2 games almost except for like 3 games. And 4 years later i'm still trying to buy them all back again.

    Sold some years ago my PC Engine Supergrafx boxed with Dai Makai Mura complete, for $150 :/

    And many many years back, a complete M.U.S.H.A. (that I bought new) for like $20.

    D'OH!

    Everything.

    Seeing how much more it would be worth now than when I sold it... should have kept it all/used it for trades for items I don't have instead.

    It was about 8 years ago I had an unused mint PAL UK Sega Master System II all contents in the bags even had the protection stickers on the controllers, box was mint not a mark, rip or dent the console had never been used. Came with a sealed Sonic game still unopened with the sticker on the box.

    I needed some cash at the time and decided to sell one of my prized pieces in my collection, spent good hour taking pictures and writing a description.

    Feeling confident it would selll very well I listed it in a 7 day auction with a starting price of £0.99

    In the end it sold for £5.50 and I under charged a little with the postage too because the buyer lived in the furthest possible location from me in the country so postage ended up costing more than expected, so after that and tax's, ebay/paypal fees it acctually cost me £10 to give it away.

    I was gutted :(

    That was the last 99p auction I ever done on ebay, today I start at the price im happy to sell for and anything over is a bonus, but I guess we all make mistakes when we'r younger

    My Crash Bandicoot figures, they were used but could easily get £60 for them instead of the £10 I sold them for!

    Well, I didn't sell it, but I regret destroying a Nintendo Mini Classics - Super Mario Bros. unit, only because I was bored.
    I wish that I could return into time and punch me hard at the face...

    Well, at least your honest about it. Many people would just say "screw it", not sell the item, and take a strike on their record.

    When I was younger I sold all my game boy games for 2$ each. I sold games like Pokemon Yellow, Red, Blue, Silver, Gold, and Crystal. I had a Mew, shiny Celebi, shiny Entei and most of the Pokemon. To this day I still regret it since I sold them for money to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards of all things. Now that I am older and wiser I wish I still had my games.

    I regret selling my Megaman collection. I have some of them left though it's costing me more to rebuild my collection then I initially sold it for.

    Didnt exactly sell but i traded a caltron 6in1 working cart passed down from to me buy my cousins when they had a NES back in the day. I traded it for a ds game, 2 gold zelda carts with a manual of the first zelda, a map thing for zelda a link to the past, and a good working condition virtual boy with the controller foam face piece and mario tennis for it. I just wonder if it was a good trade after all. :/ I did a few other trades with him later I felt alot better about i cant remember if the orginal gameboy i got was part of that trade as well though I,m pretty sure it was though. Either way it was a rare cart and one of the only rare games I owned at the time.

    Unboxed Legend of Zelda Majora's mask I got for £2.50 years ago. Sold it because I didn't have an expansion pack and didn't want to buy one. Made £14 in the end but looking at the prices makes me want to cry. Also sold Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door because I didn't enjoy JRPGs at the time. I regret it these days. I don't think I made a profit on it either looking back.

    I regret selling my PS2 slim. Even though it couldn't read CDs anymore (only DVDs)it ran amazingly perfect. I had to sell a Motorolla phone just to buy it. Now one slim is around 150RON,which for me is too damn high price. Just looking at my FMCB 8MB memory card makes me sadder than when I accidentally broke my new original Xbox after I put LOTS of work into it to get it modded. Not to mention,PS2s in my town are pretty rare.

    I just edited a random video to just see that 7.5 IRE effect my Xbox and PS2 had on NTSC-U. TT___TT
