Console, no. But somehow my parents convinced me to give away my copy of Pokémon Blue to one of my cousins. One of the dumbest things I’ve done, even if It wasn’t entirely my fault.
I know the feeling, even when I never experienced it beforehand (I wasn’t the cousin just to be clear).
Did your cousin at least took care of it?
Tbh no clue. Never saw it again, never heard about it again haha.
I regret all of them, but I needed money so.
I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.
My Atari 2600 with 80+ games. Only because I saw it sold for like $40k decades later lol.
Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS…
Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.
To date, I’ve never sold one. At times it makes me feel like a hoarder, but in all honesty I do semi-regularly go back and play my old systems.
Edit: and/or repair – my NES works again.
Silver Gameboy advance SP - times were desperate, it ended up in a pawn shop.
Im sorry old friend
Ouch. I definitely understand that.
When I was young my brother wanted to trade in our crystal xbox for money towards an Elite 360.
I made a stink about it because I didn’t want to upgrade at the time, and I even ended up setting it up in the attic to try and avoid having it sold.
In the end Dad did end up trading it in… for 20p (good riddance to physical game shops).
Ended up getting my own crystal xbox as an adult, and I did end up playing Halo 3 ODST’s multilayer disc religiously. Still, for 20p Dad?!
I hear your pain. Game shops have always been rip offs with trade ins, and 20p? Can’t even get a chocolate bar with that… My biggest regret was getting rid of the Gameboy camera and printer combo. Picked it up in the early 2000s for about £3 and didn’t keep it. Even came with the paper included
Not a console but I used to have a working Amiga 500 in the 90’s which I got rid of in favor of a PC. Wish I’d had held on to that one.
Mine wasn’t a selling console, it was a “I’m sure I can fix this” and it was my old original Fat PS3 with backwards compatibilit. Back when I was first looking into technology as a hobby/passion, my ps3 stopped working, me being ignorant decided “lets take it apart to see if anythings burnt”, well I never put it back together again when I was done saying I would do it later, I never ended up doing so, and while I still have what I think is most of the pieces, I’m 80% sure that it is missing pieces, but I also haven’t had the time to do a proper once over on it.
On a totally unrelated note, I’m craving Jolly Ranchers
Donates mine to a children’s hospital. NES, SNES, PS1, N64 and PS2 and a whole mess of games. My PS3, Xbox, hacked Xbox and 360 I kept till they all broke so they just got binned and the games given away to family and/or friends.
The only system out of all the consoles I currently want, and have wanted, but have never owned is Atari Jaguar with Jaguar CD. Someday…someday.
I still have a bunch of my original consoles: NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. The only I don’t still have are my PS1 (original, not the tiny One), N64, and Gamecube. PS upgraded to a PS2, and to be honest I never really played the N64 much. But the GC just kind of fell by the wayside and got lost. It had such amazingly unique games, but just was overlooked (even by me at the time) because it just didn’t match up graphically and didn’t really have the 1st or 3rd party support it needed.
Never personally sold any of my previously owned consoles, but I did “lose”* my Super Nintendo around 2001 and, sometime in 2011, my older brother messed up my PSone’s lid and it “disappeared” shortly afterwards.
* This loss was either my mom or aunt getting rid of it because "nobody is using it anymore, it's just wasting space and gathering dust". The same end my brother's CCE Turbo Game (a brazilian famiclone) had when I was even youngerTrading my Neo Geo AES and some AES games for a modded PSX. Both me and my friend that sold the AES to me are both kicking ourselves.
I made up for it by buying a 2 slot MVS board and consolizing it…and getting a 4 slot MVS cabinet ages later.
