YOUR Biggest Blunder while Collecting?
wiggy:
Sold my brand new N64DD dev kit that I only paid 200 bucks for (and didn't make a ton of money on). The worst part? I coulda bought 10 of them at that price. Who knew anyone would care about that thing so many years later ??? Oh the early days of eBay...
emusnes:
Passed up buying a boxed Turbo Duo for $150 5 years ago. Going to cost a lot more $$$ now.

I sold off a bunch of my NES, Gameboy, N64, and PS1 games when my x-wife and I needed money. I made decent money from it all, sad thing is there was a lot of rare gems in there that I wish I had back.
Mick Dundee:
I once traded Grandia for PS1 complete for an incomplete Dynasty Warriors 2......
Years before that I traded a Saturn, Albert Odyssey, Bug, Clockwork Knight and a few other Saturn games for Dragon Warrior 7, and Earthbound.
At the time,......not the greatest trade....now....not too bad.

2 for me.
One was throwing away boxes. Lots of boxes, mostly for SNES, N64 and Game Boy. Probably 50 or so. I felt really good about all the space I was saving in my room... then about a week later I started missing them. Recycling had gone out either that day or the day before :(
The other... I was offered an Atari 2600 (the black one), with 5 controllers and ~100 games, with 10 or so boxed. Guy wanted $50 for it, and I told him I wasn't interested. Again, about a week later, I change my mind... and it's gone, sold to someone else.
