Selling my Nintendo 64 collection bit by bit. Followed closely by the ps2.
This one I REALLY regret doing, on Pokemon red I had all 8 badges 2 of the legendary birds and a lot of greatly leveled pokemon and really cool items, but when I went to Nova Scotia for my sisters 1 year wedding anniversary, my other sister wanted to play my pokemon game. Instead of refusing I simply just said sure and lent her the game, costing me my file and everything and all the hours I put in that game, I got the game back almost a year later where I saw she barely played the game at all. Im never doing this again lol
In a realm beyond sight
Where the sky shines gold not blue
With the triforces might
Makes mortal dreams come true
When finding games for my Saturn back in the day became harder and harder..I did what a lot of people id and bought a Playstation. In order to do so I needed to sell all my saturn stuff off as I was only a freshman in high school and had no money. I sold the system for 75$ with 10 games.... 2 of them were Guardian Heroes and Panzer Dragoon Saga
Currently attempting to complete my Genesis collection! Always looking for hard to find complete games! Send me a PM
Please feel free to follow my collecting blog here! http://genesaturn.blogspot.com/
I think the biggest regret I've had was trading my Mega Drive II and all the games i had with it towards a nintendo 64. None of the games i had to my knowledge were rare, but i regret it still. Nothing against the N64 ofc, but if i could go back i wouldnt have made the same decision.

I bought a giant Mario statue before I got married. My wife didn't exactly want it in our first apartment (and it wouldn't have fit well anyway) so I was forced to sell it and must have lost around $300 in the process. (I got in a bidding war when I bought it and then sold it in a depressed market)
Wanted and willing to fairly pay for:
Final Fantasy III Hat/Cap (Official Squaresoft)
Philips CDI 740
NTSC Proto of Daze Before Christmas (SNES)
I passed up buying a CIB copy of Custer's Revenge because it was like 40 bucks and I was 14 shopping around with my mom. I was in the early stages of collecting and I did buy my 3D0 that day. I just didn't make the connection of Atari porn being rare at the time. I honestly didn't even make the connection that it was porn. I just saw a cheesy box with a hot indian and a naked cowboy and to my everlasting shame kept on walking.
The biggest regrettable thing that ive been through was realizing how i negatively impacted gamers on buy and sell deals over 7 years ago when i was younger and foolish. It was a life learning experience and even though I corrected my wrong deals and worked to make things right I still regret ever being that way. Still a few game sites wont allow me back due to it. But I have to say I have learned from it moved forward and working to be the best person I can be in and out of the gaming world. That is a bigger regret than anything item i have ever sold or missed out on. Definitely a low point in my life that I never want to go back to again.

Oh and I regret Beating Bubsy 3D for the Playstation
I've got a good one. I was unemployed and needed the money. I've since recovered the PDS
Keep in mind, all games complete and Mint
Sold:
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Shining Force 3
Burning Rangers
Dragon Force
That hurt a lot after they were gone.
The time I pooped my pants while playing Super Mario Bros in an Arcade because I didn't want to lose my game(I'd made it all the way to the 3rd World).
Most my regrets are not picking up certain titles when I had the chance. Such as not getting Panzer Dragoon SAGA for Saturn at $50. Begging for both the powerpad and powerglove as a kid. Having horrible taste in games as I was little. The only good thing I have ever done was pick up mint Dracula X for PCE at about $50. Guess that makes up for all my blunders.
selling my copy of pokemon blue for gameboy, as well as metroid 2
Hahah I did the same thing! Except it wasn't for Super Mario Bros, it was TMNT, Don't remeber which one. I was like 4 at the time.Originally Posted by Black_Tiger
Now that I've recently picked up another Dreamcast I'm severely regretting the day that I dumped my original system and rather large "all new" DC library....in favor of the then new PS2. Dumbest thing that I've ever done.
All of the DC games that I'm seeing in the wild are badly scratched beyond what I usually accept. My "new" DC library is going to have to look like shit.
Trading in Rival Schools and Einhander for Chrono Cross.
But I was desperate. I wanted to be one of the people to get the game on launch. So unfortunately something had to give.
When I traded my ACD Strider for Mad Stalker. Then the trading away of that and my Arcade Card Duo for some lame US Hucards. Finally, my getting rid of my Kisado for a measily $30 because the only Japanese Hucard I had was Majin Eiyuu Wataru (Keith Courage). I still want to get that Kisado back.
I most regret that all of my friends have turned their backs on gaming...
