Your most regretful to Trade or Sold- GO!

[nesjess]

Every time this topic pops up, I have the same answer: My Vs. The Goonies that I completely restored with NOS side art, NOS serial sticker and NOS marquee. And not faded, messed up condition, but "like new" for reals.

I should have kept the serial sticker. It's near impossible to find as I haven't seen one pop up ever since. Though, I acquired a topper which is also pretty hard to find in case I ever wanted to build it again someday. I know it doesn't have much replay value, but it had great nostalgic value for me.

I ended up trading it for Popeye (I had a red tent at the time, so it was impractical for me to have it with little game room space) which I sold to grab X-Men which I sold recently. I made my cash back, but lost a nice restored cab. So in the end, I can't complain, but wonder if it was a mistake.

The cab went to a great KLOVer, Slackmoe, who made it a Vs. Excitebike which is very fitting for him as he used to do motocross. I'm glad it's in a good home where it will be loved.

Sold a Splat cocktail because I was moving from KC to Detroit back in '94. I had no idea it was so rare...I bought it at an arcade auction for $300. It was in pristine condition.

Would've been hard to know back then, I think. I probably would've done the same thing.

Still...ow.

Every once in awhile I miss my Xevious (worked perfectly and was in excellent condition), Gyruss and dedicated Wizard of Wor. Ultimately I made the right choice selling them to make room for the pins I have which get way more play than those ever did (especially Wizard of Wor which for me is only fun as a two player game) but sometimes I wish I had the space to keep it all.

I sold my Brave Firefighters after my divorce along with my other games, well i got most games back but money and room are preventing me from getting back the Brave Firefighters. The game is huge and needs loads of room around it, it also only has three levels but it f-ing awesome to me. I one day hope to have another one for sure.
