When I was younger I traded/sold some quality games/systems I wish I still had.
I traded a Jap Megadrive with Bare knuckle 1/2 for £50 and Mario Kart ;(
Deep Fear Pal for Saturn £15 ;(
SNES and games for an Atari Jag and Cybermorph.
Doh :( :(
What a depressing thread, but what about you guys?
My copies of Breath of Fire III and IV in 2008. I was hurting for money and I didn't want to let those games go. I go them for $30 total and I really wanted to beat the games.
None. What's gone is gone.
I traded in my megadrive with 10 games including Gynoug, probably my favourite shmup ever, for a measly £100 off a £300 launch day Playstation 1. A couple of months later I was playing Battle Arena Toshinden on my 'upside down to get it to work' PS1 feeling pretty pissed off to be honest. Had kept my SNES though, so happy days there.
This. I'm a terrible trader. Pretty much only duplicates.Quote:

Fair attitude to have!Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

That is pretty depressing, but chances are, you had no idea at the time.Quote:

To be honest though, I don't think I've ever regretted selling anything. Just the short-en of trades I've regretted. I've got plenty of those ;)
I traded Master of Syougi to Fran in exchange for KoF 2002, that he bought new from the neo store. Lol.
Yup. I have no defense other than I couldn't afford any other AES games...besides, it was hard to find games unless I ordered them from Mainland game shops and pay the sickening inflated shipping prices to HI at the time.Quote:

I figured that some of the Neo games were being released to Playstation so I'd go that route...damn loading times....
I gathered my Genesis, SNES and a few games and took them to my local mom & pop game store with the intention of trading them for the brand new Sony Playstation. I didn't quite have enough, so the store owner demoed the Panasonic 3DO for me and told me how it's just as good as a PS1. I left the store with a 3DO and a copy of Need for Speed that day.
Just thinking about that transaction makes me feel ill.

Nah you got a better playing and looking version of the game for much cheaper. I'd say you did alright.Quote:

Only one I can think of is a new copy of Sunset Riders on the SNES. I played the hell out of it at my friend's house and rented it so my folks got it for me for Christmas. I ended up trading it into Funcoland for some used Game Gear games since I just got that. Since I lost a lot of my games and other things in my house fire back in 99' I've held onto things. The only stuff I sold off was a copy of Para-Para Paradise for the PS2 and my MVS copies of Nightmare in The Dark and Ghost Pilots. I traded them to get my Xbox 360 and I use that a hell of a lot more then the other games, so it was a good trade to me.
Prob the worst was my modded Saturn, and collection of games (only US "rare" didn't have was Panzer Dragoon Saga). :\
Also a few of the "grail" Turbografx games in gem mint shape....also my Ghost's n Goblins dedicated cab.
I rarely sell games I like, but I did sell Panzer Dragoon Saga so that I could buy Psychic Killer Taromaru. I had beat PDS, so why not.
You really shouldn't ask, but seeing as you have... around £100!Quote:

Doesn't sound like you regretted selling PDS, so I don't get your point/post? :scratch:Quote:

I've been fortunate enough to find the games I sold again. That's been Super Castlevania IV on the SNES and the original Ninja Gaiden on the NES. Other than that, I can't think of any game I've lost sleep over.
I'm on the fence about it.Quote:

MS2 isn't a huge deal since there are other ways to play it, but it was the only actual Neo Geo version I had.
I almost never sell any games, but the only one that annoys me still is when I traded in my copy of Last Blade 2 on DC because there was something else I wanted to get at the time and figured I'd just re-buy it when I had the money. My buddy at EB put it on hold for me so I could buy it back, and sometime shortly after, his boss sold it to someone, disregarding the note to hold it. I've never been able to get it back since; I refuse to pay ridiculous ebay pricing.
Yeah, when I shed something, it's normally for a reason. I've shed things that made my "collection" great but titles I just never played. I had SNES Final Fight Guy, a complete in the box Jaguar, a region mod Duo R, Super DodgeBall MVS kit, the complete NES Aladdin set including all games all sealed in box....That's just a few of the rare/hard to get items I eventually sold. The problem was, I never played any of them. I put the $$ to better use elsewhere.Quote:

You're better off, after beating it 3 times, I don't miss the game at all. Plus, I bought the jp version for a mere fraction of the cost if I ever want to play a game I basically have memorized.Quote:

Since then, I've come to terms that my copies of PS1 Suikoden 1 and 2 are forever lost :(
As far as the home console games, none.
Arcade cabinets...well, out of all the ones that I used to own and even operate on the street, the two I most regret getting rid of would be a dedicated upright Satan's Hollow and Firefox. While both are neither outstanding games, there were nice pieces and I couldn't be beaten on either one. Both were given to me so when I sold the SH, it was a nice profit plus it cleared up a lot of space at home after its 'street' run. Firefox like virtually every laserdisc game had its laser player burn out and then while it was being moved, the back part fell out and the monitor neck was busted off so the game was sold for parts. Deep down if I had the resources for it, I should've kept it and fixed it up. Oh well...
I never regret selling games, I only regret selling consoles and handhelds.
If I get rid of a game, it's because I've either squeezed everything I think I'm going to get out of it, or never got around to it and figure it'll be easy enough to re-acquire when I need it. That being said, I've gotten rid of VERY few of my games in the last 6 or so years and held on to at least one iteration of every system I've owned in that time.
Only game I really regret selling as Musha for Genesis.
Now cart only copies are going for more than what I sold mine CIB for. :(
Buy Aleste, it's cheaper.Quote:

Sega Genesis mid 90's right around the time the PS1 came out.I traded it in for store credit to get a PS1.Mostly because i thought i was done with the genesis,so i had no problems trading it in.Still my biggest regret was giving snatcher for the sega-cd to a friend.
Since i didn't have the console any more and snatcher wasn't worth much,i thought why not.How was i suppose to know back then that snatcher would become a high value game :hammer: Oh well while i been able to get a genesis again i doubt it will be the same for snatcher....
how much is it worth?Quote:

Never sold any old games of mine yet. Some have gone missing over time but none I care about. Long live aggressive keepsake tendencies! ;)
Winner?Quote:

I got a lot out if that modchip and played a lot if Saturn titles I probably would have never seen but the games I traded were the real thing and many were some high dollar shizzles.
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. It played worse than the NES originals so I didn't keep it. Can't believe how much this goes for now.
Basically gave away a top loading NES in maybe 1999. I actually prefer to think of that as given away, since what I got in exchange for it was such bullshit. I bought it new, myself, when those came out.
I also regret selling my Super Dodgeball MVS kit and Last Resort, however many times I've had it and sold it.
Great game, I got a another cart eventually but I should have just kept the first one I got as a christmas gift.Quote:
