Have you made a bad decision to sell or throw away a console

Actually... I've done pretty well. The only big thing I've sold was my SNES with maybe ten games in order to buy an N64 for my brother and I on Christmas. At the time, I was in elementary school. My dad had just bought a new computer, and I--like all young kids--was an instant computer genius and made some professional-looking flyers. I posted them around town and made some good money wheelin' and dealin' . Overall, it was a good experience.

Besides, the timing was good. In addition to being near the holidays, the SNES was on its last leg yet decent prices could still be got. Now, ten years later, few of the games I sold are hard to find--and, for the few that are, I don't even want them back. I'm thinkin' of you, Thomas the Tank Engine.

I GAVE my copy of Final Fantasy II complete in box with all the manuals and maps to one of my buddy’s cousins after the promise of a $30 payment (this was back in 1994). No money ever came and after a year or so of bugging my friend, I went to his house when he was gone and told his parents I had to get something I had left there earlier. I took 10 of his NES titles and his Game Genie. I then held them for ransom and he never got the payment so I kept everything. It took me years to find another copy of FFII and it wasn’t even complete!

Oh well…Glen W, BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!

(Boy, now I fell a but better)

No I never actualy sold a console, but I came close to. As a kid I tried selling my colecovision for like $20 for the system, $3 per controller, and about $1 per game. Yes I actualy priced the controllers individualy.
Good thing nobody bought it

I've done this with a few consoles.

I sold my INTV and games last year to get money to make my rent.

I traded away my 1200XL instead of keeping it. That is how I got the INTV with games though.

I traded away a TI-99/4a for a 7800. It didn't work and afterwards, I found out that the Ti did have some nice ports of games.

Eh well. I'd love to get another INTV and rebuild my boxed Imagic collection. *sigh*

My mom threw out my Apple Plus because I was getting some sort of "syntax error" thing and couldn't get a single thing to run for some reason, and I couldn't figure out how to make it run anything. I'm sure I could've figured it out, though. Just not when I was like 7 years old. Dammit.

I've only ever gotten rid of a few things ever, but I don't regret getting rid of a single one of them.
