OMG! I cannot believe I sold that!

OwaynOTT

Well I cleared out all my loose Snes carts and a few other bits over the previous year.

I all ready regret selling megaman x2, terranigma, sunset riders and turtles in time. Mainly as I got them for cheap and the money I raised went towards other things like insurance excess and rental deposits! Not an iota went back into games like I had planned!

I also have a feeling I will be regretting selling a neo geo lot soon.

What are regrets do ye have? The ones that got away thread.

Apparently I sold Kerbdogs Mega CD, the one for the MD1, many many years ago....
I have no recollection of this, but he assures me it was so, what is certain is it no longer is in the collection.... so make of it what you will.
I fear there will be some terrible retribution somewhere down the road, I fear what that might be....

The moment I sell something I instantly regret it.

Over the last while -

Lovely minty Atari 600
Box of about 100 Spectrum games
Leisure 2000 arcade cab
Neo geo 6 slot
Atomiswave SD
Jap Saturn

Bah, I'll stop now before I depress myself!!!!

CiDeRmAn

Well, I thought I'd regret selling the Nuon but don't.
I do regret selling my Flashboy, the flash cart for the Virtual Boy, that was a nice, rare thing and there is some interesting homebrew about at the moment.

The Last Bandit

I gave away my entire Amstard collection of tapes years ago, must have been hundreds of them. More recently gave away a load of PS2 games

Correction - You sold both the MegaCD and the MD1 together and the games including Shining ForceCD and SonicCD...revenge will be sweet whenever it visits

You had an Atomiswave dude? Why the sale?

Myrddin

A Mega CD 2 set complete with a US version of Snatcher CD. Sold them years ago to fund the money to upgrade to a PS1 on release. :mad::(:mad:

bitburger

kinda regretted selling my epic 24 game collection a few years ago when i was around 15, it was the first console in the house that was actually mine and not just me leeching off the brothers stuff, its not soo bad now because i bought most of it back for less than i sold it for the one major exception to that is i let gamestop have my mgs subsistence for about 4 quid

LoGiE

I've had cabs come and go... I just wish I'd had space for them all

deathrider

When I was about 16, I went through a games-are-for-kids phase, and sold all my stuff. Amongst them was classics like Exhumed (which I luckily found again lately), Bio Freaks, Twisted Metal, and some futuristic sports game. I've never came across these titles asian.

I honestly can't remember selling it at all...
I must be blocking it out....
I still have Shining Force and Sonic CD, I don't even know who would have bought it, honestly...
Maybe it's still knocking around somewhere?
Hmm...

Retr0gamer

Lucky for me I've never really sold any of my games. I went into Game years ago with a copy of Ghouls n'Ghosts on the Megadrive and they offered me 3 pounds which I refused. Since then I've never sold any of my stuff. Only games I ever sold were Kane and Lynch and the Darkness but I absolutely hated those games.

I do regret letting some games go out of my hands. I had for a while a copy of Terranigma which I got for a very good snipe on ebay. Unfortunately I gave it away to my friend who I trade games with in the US to say thanks for showing me around NY. It was worth it to see how delighted he was with it but still, I'd love to have a copy of it and I'll probably never snipe it that low again, the seller didn't know what language it was in so I had to research it.

Also gave away two copies of Pop n'Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures, one to my friend in the US and another to Ciderman for the Christmas gift exchange. Hopefully I can find my own copy soon

Dale Parish

Sort of retro but not (video) gaming related I sold my Charizzard and Dark Charizzard cards for £5 in 2000

OwaynOTT

I never sold any of the stuff I had when I was a wee nipper but the majority of it disappeared somehow but yet all my sisters polly pockets were kept!
Nes and gameboy with a fair heap of games, megaman, castlevania and the likes. Was disgusted when I found out after spending the day crawling around in the attic.
Did find my Snes stuff but all the boxes were throw out!


@retrogamer- feel your pain on terranigma. Inlet mine so too and I originally got it for peanuts. Don't think I'll ever get it cheap again.

Retr0gamer

Actually I lent someone Megaman 3 for the gameboy and never saw it again. Seems to go for a big price these days

Yeah I had two of the megaman gameboy games not sure which two though. Defintely had the one with him jumping or descending on the cover.

Monitor wasn't working. Gave it back after a year to the guy I bought it from. I still miss the thing, even if it was broken!

the groutch

sold my saturn and 23 games (including Guardian Heroes & Shining The Holy Ark) at a car boot sale for €60 (approx €100 in today's terms)

Hank Scorpio

Traded in all my snes and gameboy stuff when I was a nipper for a copy of Fifa 2000 for the pc. Epic fail Had some nice stuff like a boxed sunset riders etc

Steve X2

Traded one of my Darius Alphas a good while back to get access to some very nice trades/sales in Japan.
Wish I had traded something else now but it seemed a good idea at the time, I've since replaced it so not all bad.

CiDeRmAn

I'm going to trade in ZombiU today as I've had more fun having during endoscopic examination, reckon I'll be posting about it here in 6 years time?
No, didn't think so!

I sold a mint MD in the box a while back. Anything else I've sold I've replaced

Optimus Prime

I sold about 100 boxed megadrive games, boxed gamegear and boxed Neo Geo pocket colour last year to fund the wedding, some good megadrive games in there too. regret that big time because i didnt even need the money in the end thanks to getting loans out of two different credit unions!

In the same boat myself now, already have one of my classic cars up for sale don't fancy having to sell some of the consoles too - most of which I've only purchased in the last couple of years.

Optimus Prime

was worrying so much about paying for that wedding, in the end you get most of it back in money presents. Had i known i wouldnt have bothered selling them

I can marry people, will only charge 50 quid
Only legal in America I think though.

If she makes you sell your games she's not worth it. See how she reacts when you put her shoes up on ebay :P

Did you actually get anything for Darius Alpha, or was it purely to gain access to this trading group?

It was more to show I was serious about buying and trading I think.

Well they did have a Batrider for sale but i nabbed that one.
I'll ask around if you like? Progear is nearly always up for trade or sale as its pretty common really.

Then get it signed by Steve Wozniak over lunch while he leans on your 3DO M2 to sign it....then you should have access

I once left an Atari 1024ST + hard disk, mono & color monitor, trackball and a ton of diskettes down by the roadside for anyone to collect.

I did get that thing signed by him just before Xmas. I'm saying "that thing" because if I mention what it is I'll end up with more weird PM's from people(no any regulars by the way) with great invention ideas and other crap that they want passed on to the Woz :0/

No, not at all.
On an completely unrelated note I'll be releasing a new type of battery next month that charges up in 10 mins and powers most laptops for years and phones for decades.

I do regret. Kick Off II and Player Manager. Took ages to get any good but what a game!!!

Ouch for the people getting shot of Terranigma. Only games I got rid of were the common enough Super Paper Mario (not great) and Mario Kart Super Circuit (which I can play on my phone). Wouldn't even sell the utter clag I have!
