How many of you went and sold all your games back in the day?

I've sold bits of my collection like that three times.

The first time was to go on a trip to visit some internet friends. The visit went ... very poorly, and wasn't worth getting rid of so many good things.

The second was to fund an emergency computer purchase. My second PC's CPU uh, burned up. Yes, really. I bought my current computer with that.

And the third... well, I'm in the middle of it. Building a new PC.

I've never had anyone sell my things, period. I did however experience my mother forcing me to throw out the boxes from some of my very first PC games... Gabriel Knight III, Gabriel Knight Mysteries, Tachyon The Fringe, Homeworld Game of the Year.

As a kid, the only thing I ever sold my was NES and games. Though everything I had was common, so getting those games back as an adult was easy.

In college, I sold my Sega Saturn and games for $80 so I could buy a DVD player. The thing that really stung was one of the games was Guardian Heroes. Really regret that one.

About ten years ago, I sold all of my TG-16 games (kept the system though). I had a few pretty good ones, including a Splatterhouse complete with the cardboard box. I regret that as well, now I have nothing to play on my TG16 :(

I remember when I was maybe 16 or 17, I took my super nintendo and all my games down to a local video game store. Games included Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Final fantasy II and III, among others. I traded them all in for a Atari Jaguar and the game club drive.

The guy at the counter asked me at one point: "Are you sure you wanna do this man?" I said Yep and have regretted it ever since.

Fortunately, Iv'e gotten all those games back AND my atari jaguar now. But to this day i can't help but think this was one of the dumbest things i've ever done in my life. :'(

The last time I sold off a chunk of my games - and I *mean* last, because I don't plan to ever do it again - was about 7-8 years ago. I decided I had PS2 games I'd never play and I needed to whittle down my collection. I bet I took a bag of 50+ games to GS. :( Many of those I've gotten back, but a few of my RPGs I'm still looking for - such as the Wild Arms games, which are getting pricier to reacquire.
