Whenever someone plans to sell something from his/her collection all nerds go 'nooooo! you'll regret it later!'.
Now I've sold a fair shair of my games, most notably my 32X collection, but I've never actually regret it. Of course it's sad to see an empty spot on the shelves, but some rearranging and it's gone.

Is there anybody here who really regrets selling something?

This goes back to the whole attachment thing for me.  I become so attached to my games that I feel horrible if I ever sell or trade any of them, no matter how much I hate the game or how many duplicates I have.  I guess maybe I'm weird, but the ONE trade I ever made I still totally regret, and it's not because it was an unfair deal.

A while back I had a copy of Xenogears that I never played.  I played it once and I absolutly hated the 3/4 view.  

One day I was very short on cash, when me and one of my friends started talking about games.  He said that he couldn't find Xenogears anywhere and that he would buy mine for something like $40.  I accepted and have regretted it everyday since.

Did it twice:

First I sold my NES, 4 controllers including quickshot joystick and powerglove, and about 80 games for $90.  And this was 13 years ago or so.  Regretted that from the minute I did it.

Then I sold my Turbo Duo, 4 controllers including turbotap and about 15 games for like $150 - about 11 years ago.

Doh!

Oh yeah, I somehow completely forgot to mention the selling of my original NES.  I had the action set, in great condition.  It was boxed and complete - even had all the styrofoam and plastic bags.  I had about 15 or 20 games, all boxed and complete as well...  and I sold the whole lot for $15 when I was a kid because that seemed like a lot of money when all I wanted to buy was 25 cent pieces of candy.  BAD idea to sell that....  it's what really got me collecting.

I've sold a few games I picked up for $5 or less and later ended up wanting for my collection and had to pay out the ass (at least that's what it felt like) for. The most notable is Final Fantasy III.

Still trying to rebuild my old NES collection as well.  It's especially tough to find this stuff complete and in the mint condition I had kept all of my stuff way back when.  If I ever find a complete copy of Where In Time is Carmen Sandiego? in the wild, I'll go crazy with happiness.

I regretted my mom selling my first genesis and all the games for 20 dollars which included every sonic game, all the mortal kombats, toe jam and earl and the 6 in 1plus around 8 other titles. But i have never sold anything so i cant regret any of my sales.

Jesus.  Bad deal for you, man.  Tell your mom not to go into the video game resale business.  Was that the Menacer 6-in-1 or the 6-Pak?
