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

My mother made the arbitrary decision that my brother and I weren't playing some of our NES games anymore, and made us pick some to sell. This would have been 98?-99? 2000 at the latest. Probably lost 20 CIB games that day, but luckily, I've been able to replace most of the ones I cared about (and my parents like RPGs, so they all survived.) I think I'm just missing Adventures in the Magic Kingdom and Gauntlet II now (we sold our Four Score too.)

Besides that, no sales, although we've had several games go missing in the last 10 years. The main missing game was Legend of Zelda: LttP, and the replacement I bought a few years ago has an ugly box and bits. So sad. I really hope we find our original one...

I still have all my TMNT figures. Even have the party wagon sitting on top of my entertainment center. But I did the same thing with my He-Man guys, though I kept Orco.

I was very tempted a few weekends ago by some guy selling like 200 bucks worth of figures at the Flea Market, accessories and some vehicles, but I didn't have the money even if I wanted to buy them lol

I wish I had kept some of my He-Man figures, but I didn't. My mom did keep all of my GI Joes, but I don't really have any attachment to those (looking back I think I got into them more because "that's what all the other boys were playing with" than anything else, I was the only kid into He-Man and I finally caved). Matter of fact, I'm currently selling the majority of my GI Joe collection on ebay and don't feel bad about it at all. I'm keeping one figure - the computer guy, because i'm in IT and he's also probably the only one I can actually remember when & where I bought him.

bikingjahuty:
When I was younger I had to sell some of my games in order to afford new ones I wanted, it was just the way things worked. Aside from Birthdays and XMAS, my parents never bought me games or consoles, so I had to work for it and sometimes that wasn't enough. Now that I have a career I make enough to where I don't have to sell games to afford new ones, which is nice. I also have enough to collect which I have been doing for a while now. I honestly didn't want to sell my stuff back in the day, but it was either that or not get what I wanted at all.
