Things that you regret you sold

I sold my whole N64 collection to Gamestop for $0.50-$2.00 a game back when the Xbox released I was $20 short and needed to do it

 

I sold these two at a flea market, under my parents coercion. I'll always regret that. These are rather large pictures and the lack of resizing in the BB tags means that I'll just link them.

I regret not selling more of my beanie babies back when they were still a hot item.

I sold only one beanie baby in late Spring of 1998 and made enough to buy my N64 and two games (although, looking back, I think I may have had some help from my parents on that purchase).

I held on to all the other beanie babies because I was sentimental about them at the time, but they've just been sitting in a bin in my closet for a decade or so, now. *sigh*

 

THIS!!!!!
:clap:

 

TLoZ: OoT Gold PAL edition. Or Zelda for NES, in box. Fetched a handsome €100 each, though.

 

Colecovision, 2600, and Odyssey2 titles that my cousins had bought years and years ago long before I was even able to play them. Weren't complete games by any means (cart only) but I sold them as I didn't play them and I needed the money.

Thankfully most of them went to really good homes here (Jaysmith2000 has one of my Colecovisions IIRC).

 

i remember selling my NES with a ton of games and my nintendo 64. i look back and regret it...

 

It wasn't a sell per se, but all of my videogames from my childhood up until a few years ago was stolen back in 2005. I was really gutted back then...

 

The 360 prototype i sold to robert kendo last month Miss that hardware. also my PS1 :'(

 

Shit. How did that happen?

 

I would agree as had the same thing happen to me in 2004 or 2005. We went out 10mins down the road to watch the annual fireworks display and when we got back our house was trashed, only thing they didn't take was my xbox and the game left inside.

 

I was moving in to a new apartment (my first), so I had most of my stuff in a storage in the basement of the building so I'd have space to move furniture and stuff around without it being in the way. After one day I noticed someone had broken in to my locked cubicle and stolen all the valuable stuff, hardrock vinyl records I had collected for years (some really rare 70's records, including all vinyl records AC/DC ever released, in all regions...)) and all of my videogames, all my childhood memories like super mario bros and NES and stuff. The only record I had left was Ride The Lightning which was in my record player in my apartment (though the cover was in the basement). Tough shit. Basically had to start from scratch.

The thing is, the basement wasn't broken in to, so a resident there had to have done it. There was a rumour some disgruntled, laid off alcoholized janitor had done it, but we'll never know for sure...

 

God, that really sucks. I guess none of it was covered by insurance either, since it was temporary storage and there was no evidence of a break-in?

Commiserations, man.

 

Exactly. OH:

 

Mannn that sucks , It's something I worry about everyday.. Stupid thieves.

 

RGB SCART modded american N64..WAHHHH!!!:crying:

 

I don't mind selling Earthbound. I don't mind selling it complete with mint condition box and manual. But I do mind selling it for $20 (several years ago).

Why did I sell it? Spur of the moment thing. Momentary lapse in concentration. A period of financial vulnerability. I was at my most weak and someone else saw my weakness and took advantage of it. You could argue that it was my choice to sell it. I would argue that I made the choice under such heavy duress and burden that it should'nt be considered 'choice'.

But the past is the past. I'm hoping to buy it back.

 

I regret selling my punch out gold cartridge, needed monies... It was fun to look at 

 

I regret selling my first Atari Lynx II with a couple of games in the early 90's for about 25Euros - nobody wanted to buy Atari consoles at that time - but I needed to raise a lot of money to buy the big premium package of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego for the Sega Mega Drive, the package with the ecyclopedia. It was the most expensive Mega Drive game I saw back then (about 75 Euros?).

About ten years later I sold almost all of my Mega Drive games because of the lack of space, including that Carmen Sandiego package, and that I really regret.
Never saw one of those encyclopedia packages again... :crying:

 

I got some sealed Carmen Sandiego SNES games from an electronics shop that was going out of business, coincidentally.

They DO take a lot of space, but I'm glad I got them. Fun game, but the PC version was much better.

I never expected to see these games complete either.
