Re: What is your biggest regret in selling or buying video g
I regret selling FFVII, Xenogears and Guardian Heroes all in perfect condition. When I completed them i just sold them to get cash to get new games. Thankfully I managed to get these games again later.. just so stupid selling them in the first place. Also i had Parappa the Rapper unopened that I also sold :/

I totally regret selling my SNES to my neighbor since I didn't "want" it anymore; what a stupid move. Similar thing happened to my Game Boy Advanced I bought in 2006.

Still Kicking myself in the butt over passing up a chance to buy a Atari Jaguar for $130 that included S-video cable, two six button controllers, boxes, 30+ games all with manuals.
The games included Tempest 2000, Iron Soldier, AVP, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Atari karts, Super Burnout, Cannon Fodder, Defender 2000, I-War, Missile Command 3D, Power Driver rally, Pinball, Raiden, Rayman, and Ultra Vortek, and others. Passed on it to get a Sega Saturn. That was such a good deal, should have gotten it. Not likely to find a deal like that again either.

Regret:
Selling a bunch of dreamcast games, including powerstone.
Don't regret:
Buying a CDX on a whim for $69. Just watched one go for $190 on ebay.

Where do you people keep finding these deals from?! Isn't Rayman alone like 70-90 dollars CIB? And Atari Karts is like 200 dollars.ATARI800XLfan wrote:Still Kicking myself in the butt over passing up a chance to buy a Atari Jaguar for $130 that included S-video cable, two six button controllers, boxes, 30+ games all with manuals.

If we're doing "don't regret", buying Earthbound for $100. In less than a year, the price went up even more.Jrecee wrote:Regret:

Sold for £20 in 2000:
Saturn
2 Model2 Controllers
1 3D Controller
1 Light Gun
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Nights
Warcraft 2
Resident Evil
Dark Saviour
Enemy Zero
Duke Nukem
Discworld 1 & 2
plus about 30 other games.
I was gutted when I saw how much these things would cost to replace.
I also remember when Jags were being cleared out, I saw them being sold at £40 with 2 or 3 games when I was on my way to buying a Mega Drive game. I briefly thought about buying it but got the MD game instead. Kind of wish that I had bought it then.
