If I had know better, I would NOT have sold my Nintendo Entertainment System (NES,) and I would not have traded my Atari 2600 and games for Captain America comic books.

I was a late bloomer when it comes to the NES.  I first bought one used in college back in the early 1990s.  Loved it, but I swore off game right after I got married.  It was a personal choice.  I had the console, two Hudson Soft turbo controllers, the orginal light gun, and 13 games.  I sold it for a mear $50.  Mistake mistake mistake mistake.

And then there was my Atari 2600 and a variety for controllers.  With that was 100+ cartridges which was a joint collection between my collection, my wife's collection, and the ones I'd bought from a variety of pawnshop.  I had traded it with some guy over the internet for $100 worth of Silver Age Captain America comics.  Unfortunately, the value was less than what he had stated because of the comics' conditions.  And as cool as it is to have them, I'd rather have what was my games over the comics.

If I had kept what I had gotten rid of, it would have almost painted my entire gaming history.

I sold about 30 PS3 and 20 DS games 3 years ago. One GBA game too, for which I got $60. Wish I still had them. Was a weird decision by my usual standards. Other stuff too, but that's the most recent example.

Well it's not really like I got rid of it but I find myself many times thinking about when a Yu-Gi-Oh! card worth 100+$ that I found was stolen from me. That really left a scar in my brain...

I don't get rid of much stuff excluding old clothes, I'm the kind of person that easily forms a connections with what belongs to him. Of course this causes my room to be extremely messy :v

I sold my entire GC library to help myself purchase some Wii games when I first got my Wii. I'm currently in the process of rebuying many of the games that I sold. I did get around $250, but I still regret it as I'm now paying more in order to get them back.

I regret putting my kids up for adoption.

All my handhelds. Got rid them all. 5 different Gameboy models, Sega Gamegear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and 2 PSPs

I regret trusting my ex when she said she'd keep my Sega CD, Atari 2600, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, N64 along with all their games. Why? Because she immediately stopped paying for our storage unit on purpose and they were all auctioned off.

Took years to buy most of it back, and I'm not even close to finished because retro gaming is now expensive.

I regret selling Sonic generations on the 3DS. It was a very good Sonic game and i thoght i had played all there was to play on it. I completed it 100%, but i was wrong. I feel like playing itagain, but not too keen on spending 25€ to re-buy it.

But Sonic Mania is coming soon, so... good days coming.

My PSOne. I, umm, sort of 'disassembled' it for no good reason. It was kind of extra, we already had a working PS1, and I thought it was pretty pointless to have it lying around. Now, I think it would've been nice to have around, and it was kind of cute, I guess. I still don't strictly need it and probably never will, but I do regret getting rid of it. I also don't feel too good for trading some games for other games, although I suppose all the games I got for those trades were pretty good.

Our GameCube and Xbox got traded in. Regret that.
PS2 got broke by a friend, and we traded in our games for it. Regret that.
Still have the Ps1, but also traded in those games and some of them ended up being super rare and pricey. Wish I still had those.
Traded in the 360... I want to say I regret that, but that was the gen that we had 4 red rings of death. Still have gears 1-3 laying around somewhere
Still have our N64, but I have no fucking clue what happened to a lot of our games - ones that appreciated in value like SMB, MK64, DK64, Pokemon Stafium 1&2 are missing. I regret that they seemingly disappeared, or I regret that my memory has failed.

And then the gameboy color all the way through the gba SP got traded in with tonssss of games that ALSO appreciated in value. Regret that as well.


Basically after the PS3, which is the first console I bought with money from a job, I've resolved to never trade in or sell a console or games again. That will hold true when the NEO comes out and my Ps4 gets moved to the living room. And it will hold even truer for the NX which I am low key hyped as fuck for.
