I would have to say a few years ago I passed up on 2 Commodore 64's with monitors, disk drives, with lots of accessories and games for about 20$
Tell the viewers your best finds you passed up on!

the only one I can think of at all is a boxed complete Odyssey 2 with Conquest of the New World complete and Lord of the Rings complete. Other than that, nothing...I buy pretty much everything that's a deal!

30 dollars for a boxed complete flintstones 2. I wish I had known it was worth so much boxed. I truly do.

Well, not exactly a find, but close! I regret buying a $45 copy of Dragon Warrior IV. This crazy bitch I was dating also liked the game and took it with her after we broke up... Took the cat too.
When I first started collecting 5 years ago, I went into a pawn shop that had a boxed Jaguar and a boxed Turbo Duo with a crapload of games. I only had enough cash on me to pick up the Jaguar, so the next day I got more money and went back to pick up the Duo. Of course it was already sold.
I'm still pissed-off about that one.
I passed up taking a boxed Odyssey 1, pretty much complete, with a boxed light rifle......for free, >.<
D'OH. With all due respect. Why turn down a free video game system? Were you not a collector at the time?Originally Posted by Raccoon Lad
Bummer.
It was a very odd point in my life, and I figured it was pretty much worthless anyway.....boy was I wrong.
That CGE I ran across an Aladdin Deck Inhancer for thirty bucks. I looked at it, thought about it, then walked away. I've kicked myself every day since.
I remember how I could've gotten stacks of Jaguars and Jag CD units for cheap back in the day. I didn't think all these Nintendo Power reading fanboys who spent their days bashing the Jag/Atari would now be fighting each other to pay big bucks for these a few years later on Ebay.
I saw a Commodore 64 in a yard sale with everything but the monitor, it even had the printer. I told the guy I'd give him 20 for it and he agreed but I told him I would come back for it and I never did. The thing that grated on me daily is that I have well over 50 games and I can't play them.
I also got and Aladdin Deck Enhancer for free way back in the day I had it for a while then my nes broke and I gave it to my friend for free. I hadn't seen him for a while then when I started collecting I asked him about it and it had been stolen from him.
About a year ago on the bay I saw an O2 lot, system with about 20 games all complete, the sick thing there was a Powerlords in it. It went for about 80 bux. I was kind of broke and really couldn't afford it, but I should've made a way to buy it but I didn't. That really hurts me to this day. How often does that game show up? let alone complete? Man was I stupid.

1994, Toronto: A videogame store called 110/220 went out of business and a liquidation company came in an started marking things down...
I went in on a Friday afternoon and picked up "New Adventure Island" and "Air Zonk" for $25 each (it was a very good price at the time...)
I went back the next day, and found they were closing up in a few hours and had reduced everything to $8....
They had a ton of Japanese imports for the PC Engine, SFC, Famicom, NEO GEO etc... Again... everything was $8.00CDN.
I took a quick look around.. picked up "Ys I&II" and "Sherlock Holmes" for the TgCD, and "TV SPORTS HOCKEY" for the Tg16. Gave the kid behind the counter $24.00, smiled to myself about my good fortune, and then walked out, ever to rue the day... >
TRY had Startropics new for $.99 back in 1996, I was only 14 at the time and I bought 1 for myself. They probably had over 300 copies stacked around the store.
At a special sale, I came across a box of factory sealed SNES Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer games. I only bought 2, the rest were tossed in the Auger.
