I may also have a future regret of trading my Space Zap for a Joust...just haven't posted a WTT yet.

Not too many regrets. But if I had to choose, probably not being more aggressive on buying in the beginning. The one game that still stings is a $75 BattleZone I turned down, complete, monitor issue, nice looking.![]()
Another regret is posting all of my vectorized art on the library for all the inkjetters to make money off of. Also, for a certain blog to totally shat upon one of my pieces even though I had a 72 dpi original to work with and there was nothing better out there at the time.
...biggest regret, not getting into the hobby earlier when things were priced lower, but then again you old timers had a lot harder time finding parts to make repairs...
When I first started collecting, I was a broke ass. (now I am just an ass). I grabbed any and everything from the bottom. I had a haul once from an auction of 8 games on my truck; 8 turds but I had a tonne of parts. Anyway, my point is I have sold a few games that I seriously regret because I needed cash.
1. Burgertime. This did go to a friend in the hobby, so I am like 90% regretting this sale. I picked it up in a bulk deal. Burgertime, DK3 and some lame redemption game. I sold the DK3 after fixing the monitor, trashed the redemption game (I think - dont remember) and kept the BT
2. Candy Cab. - Also in a bulk deal. Had Uo Poko in it for years. I needed cash fast and sold it super cheap.
3. Pacman with "MadPac" in it. Cant regret this one too much because I used the 900 (yes, 900!!) I got for it and bought a digital SLR at Costco.
4. Mappy. Lame game but fun. Always a party fav and a really cool cabinet.
I am older, have a way better job, not living paycheck to paycheck - everything is way overpriced (IMHO). I'd rather drop 3k on something for the house or just leave it in the bank.

That's a lot of bad moves.
That's sickening. How long ago was that?
