I know I definitely am mad at myself for selling my Dreamcast, I only had 2 games, but it was a great system!
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Every couple weeks or so I beat myself up for getting rid of my original Gameboy. That thing was in immaculate condition and I had all of the best games (including Mega Man 1 - 5) complete with their boxes and instructions. I pawned the whole collection for $75 when I was in high school.
Stupid, stupid, stupid . . .
ALL OF THEM.
I had an NES, SNES, Gameboy Color, Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, and X360--all with the "best" games for each system. And I saved EVERYTHING..Boxes, Manuals, Inserts, etc. etc.
I sold the whole lot for a considerable amount of money at the time, but now I find myself recollecting everything again. Mainly SNES. I gave up on trying to find everything CIB...that's just too expensive. Now I just settle for game+manual.
Yeah, that was also my case.Original Xbox, I thought that in the end 360 would support more of its games.

When I was around 5 my mom sold our family NES, and Genesis along with all the games because we already had a Super Nintendo and didn't need to keep those........
I own a Retro Duo now (Plays NES/SNES games), and Genesis systems are really cheap, but I really wish I still had all the stuff we used to have.
Banjo-Tooie, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Wave Race 64. Now don't mind me as I shed a tear for these games I miss. Damn I was an idiot.
When I was in Junior High, I did a lot of babysitting for the neighbors, and I saved up a ton of money to buy a SNES and a load of games. Well my marks in school were bad, so my parents told me that until I improved my grades, I couldn't buy a SNES......So I took the money (that was burning a hole in my pocket) and I went to Radio Shack and bought a Turbografix-16 along with a few game instead, because they never said I couldn't buy one of those. I played that thing for about a week until they found out I bought it. Of course, like parents do, they made me sell it to one of my friends, and I never saw it again....That was a great little system with some great games, I really miss it. Wish I could find one, may just have to pick one up off of eBay for nostalgia sake.
I always regret what I sold in the past, but I guess I didn't realize what I was doing at the time. I sold my Atari 2600 w/games, Nintendo w/games, Genesis w/games, Playstation w/games, N64 w/games, and Saturn w/games. I just recently bought back my Saturn from my friend that I sold it to, but I will never get back the rest of the stuff. I can't even remeber where half of it went.

Wow, what great parents.
I've never sold a system before, but I do miss my old glacier GBA. It died... :(
my n64 and my 4 games: yoshi story, diddy kong racing, nhl 98, madden 2001
then back in the day when gamestop took back used snes games i traded in mega man x. wtf was i thinking. because of that trade in i stopped playing my snes as much as i used to
I would say original xbox. I gave it to my friend when I got 360 thinking that it would be fully backwards compatible.
isnt it really stupid that they didnt make it completely backwards compatible? ps3 and wii areNot really because I've sold games and consoles all my life to buy new games that I can't afford. I sell them now for whatever price then if I really regret selling it I buy it back a few years down the road for much cheaper.
Example, I got GT3 at release for $50, I played it to death then sold it to gamestop or wherever. Now I just bought it from gamestop for $2.50, now I'm not really sure how much I sold it for at first but I can guarantee that it was more than $2.50. So in the end I made out by letting gamestop, kind of borrow it for awhile:D
Also, I just bought a Dreamcast for $25 about 2 months ago and I'm willing to bet that when I sold my original Dreamcast it was for more that $25
"Super Cobra" on Genesis, "Cool Spot" on Genesis, mostly I miss my Genesis I guess!
:lol:
But there have been lots, really. The thing is, I'm just not a collector or a pack-rat. If I beat a game I'm pretty well done with it... there have been a handful of games which I have had the forsight to keep:
And on and on... perhaps I have a BIT of pack-rat blood in me... but not much...
top geaR 3000 Is top of my list,
i found everything else at least once except this , ,
-i bought each and every game i sold for snes in 2003-
so far , except
-ren and stimpy big buckaroos
top gear 3000
and sparkster ,, \
lol im definatelly having one heck of a time finding htose oh and mario is missing
i regret selling away Perfect Dark 64. yah, I totally regret that. I ended playing my N64 a little bitduring my first year in college and it would have been great to have played that game again. a sad thing that Rare totally destroyed it with Perfect Dark Zero. but i kept Goldeneye so it wasn't too depressing - it was the game that practically set up Perfect Dark to be the greatest shooter until Halo arrived. and i kept Zelda: Ocarina of Time so it wasn't a total loss but Perfect Dark was awesome.
I regret selling my GBA even though my DS plays GBA games.
My Zelda Collectors Edition when I sold my Gamecube a long time ago. I bought another gamecube recently but I can't find this game anywhere, except ebay where they are pretty expensive :(.
My Master System 2 model 2 with built in Sonic 1. lent it to a friend that was supposed to be temporally. Turns out 4 years later i still don't have it back...
Growing up must have been pretty rough for you....When I was in Junior High, I did a lot of babysitting for the neighbors, and I saved up a ton of money to buy a SNES and a load of games.

I've made the mistake of getting rid of some N64, Gamecube, and PS2 games way back then, because I was really stupid. However I have redeemed myself by rebuying some of those games I made the mistake of getting rid off. Every now and then when I have the extra money, I'll go look around for them at Gamestop or on Amazon. :)
I used to have "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" and sold it for a little over $100.00 in 2004, I wish I had kept it. Even for $1000.00 I would have kept it now.
