What do you regret selling/getting rid of?

[Segata]

It's just Sega stuff, relax. It's not like they threw out a top loading Nintendo without a factory multi a/v out on the back.

If you were any other Tanooki I'd kill you where you stand!

The N64 is a weird console for me. It was a time when I had a lot of free time & it was the first console I bought with my money... but I'm not overly nostalgic for it for some odd reason.There's only about 5 games I'm drawn to today & they all emulate fine. This one I don't regret selling due to money value or because I sold my childhood...

First, you have to understand my house set up back then. I had this decent sized TV stand where the bottom half was made to hold media. Our entire home's VHS collection was in there. I was told to not tear them up so I left it alone unless watching a movie. It taught me to take care of my media. A habit I still am OCD about today.

Well... in that closed entertainment center goes my N64 game boxes as I get new games. I take the cart out, put the box up & they all go essentially unhandled. I traded in all my N64 stuff to go towards my Dreamcast. That honestly was worth it looking at dollars made compared to owning a DC for me.

I do however regret handing over about a dozen MINT N64 game boxes and the system box to Game Stop. I had no idea as a kid/early teen you got the same trade in boxed or not. Highly likely they were trashed or not sold to the next game owner & lost in the shuffle .

So I regret it from a preservation point of view versus monetary value or losing a treasure from my youth.

I've heard of several folks who trashed their Saturn boxes. I known another member here did that as well but at least kept the manuals. You had a Jaguar CD during its relevance... that's ganster.

Hmm, tried to think of something that I regret getting ridding of but nothing really comes to mind. Hmm, I would enjoy owning a cart of Lufia & The Fortress of Doom (SNES) and Legend of Zelda (SNES) for nostalgic value.

Luckily i wasn't really into selling games so i didn't sell all that many games and the good ones i sold were mostly the type that were really cheap to get back.

There's really just two games that i regret selling.

First is Morrowind Goty for the original XBOX that i actually sold twice (not the same copy ofc) I wouldn't play XBOX version instead of PC version today but i love the game and it would be nice to have physical version of it but the XBOX version of the game is too pricey these days (not crazy expensive but expensive enough to not bother)


The second is mint copy of Deus Ex. I actually haven't been able to get into it but it's very important WRPG and one that i could potentially still end up loving so i'm kicking myself for selling it for cheap to get XBOX 360 game. I'm so glad that it was the only one of the big box PC games that i got from my brother that i was able to sell. I would probably cause a flood everytime just by remembering what i did if had done so.

My biggest regret is for not getting certain games when I was first learning about them and starting to collect in 2006-2010. It would have been so easy to get Pocky and Rocky for ~$20, Little Samson for ~$60, Mega Man X3 for ~$40, Earthbound CIB for ~$80 but I passed on all of them.

Other than that I regret knowing my neighbor across the street as a kid. This guy was a piece of crap and would end up spending many many years in jails in his teens -20's. He broke into my house shortly after visiting and stole ~20 N64 games and the system w/ accessories. Pretty shitty being 13 and knowing exactly who broke into your home after you just had them over a couple of days before with no way to prove to the cops who did it.

All my Final Fantasy games. I used to love those things. Also my N64.

If you watch for a game stop "Retro Flash Sale" online they occasionally drop it to around $5 bought 2 copies a while back. One came disc only and the other came CIB but the disc was the standard version still a solid deal though.

I have a CIB of the standard and I doubt I will ever play it again.

I bought a new copy of a Earthbound in the 90s for $10. I threw away all the paperwork, and traded the game in because I didn't like it. I regret that. I also traded in CIB copies of Panzer Dragoon II, Lunar 2, Shining the Holy Ark, and Castlevania Chronicles. I would like those back.

Pretty much all of the first party Nintendo stuff from the SNES/N64 era.

It was around the time when the VC was coming out and I just though "well, this is now available digitally for cheap and on other formats" might as well earn some money.

Zelda LTTP, mint with unopened Sahasralas secrets, Metroid 3 big box, both the N64 zelda games ("I have them on the gamecube disk" was the logic).

They certainly didn't go for pennies but good god what I could get for them today thanks to the current madness! I made the same mistake I did as a kid when lending stuff to friends, I assumed everyone kept their possessions in perfect nick. Looking at some of the battered up stuff that is on Ebay these days and attracting megabucks I should have known better.

Thankfully it was only the super common stuff I sold so I still have all the stuff that is deservedly worth money like the Quintet games.
