And I mean the EXACT game that you owned and let go of, NOT another of the same title game.

I had to let go of my Robotron about 2-3 years ago, and a KLOVer bought it. They told me if one day I wanted to buy it back I probably could (I don't know what the time limit was on that offer tho LOL).

Now that I have gotten a better-paying job I'm considering trying to buy it back, so I thought I'd see if anyone else unloaded a game, missed it, and then bought that exact same game back again?

Man these things are worse than crak.
 
I saw one of mine on CL last summer. I did not want to buy it back. Wife goes how do you know it is the exact same. I showed her my picture of it from the camera and the one the guy had on CL. She says "oh". :D
 
I bought back a Battlezone mini that had been frustrating the hell out of me - serious power issues, overheating, etc. Traded it for a non-dedicated Escape..Robot Monsters. Couple of months later I saw the BZ on KLOV for sale, all nice and repaired. I bought it back and it's been rock-solid since.

I had sold a Gyruss cocktail to a friend of mine, who put it in his office for patients to play. Eventually he took the games out, but didn't have room in his house for them, so gave them to me to keep.
 
Well I didn't buy back per say.

I gave an tron game to a friend.
When he moved out of the country.
It came back here.
It got revamped and repaired.
It got regifted to another friend until he got married.
It came back here and It got repaired.
It got regifted to another friend of mine until he join the Marines and was shipped out.
Back home it came.
Repaired and revamped.
It went to another friend and He moved to another state
But he took the game with him cause his boys still play the game.
