I regret trading an A1200 that was immaculate with an original HD for a PS2 game back in early 2005.

i bought loads after i split with my now ex-wife - 2 C64's, spectrums, every sega console, every nintendo one, pc engine, made a mame machine, amiga, atari st, hundreds of games!!!

then i met someone new, within 2 years i'd sold it all!!!

My Mr Backup Z64 I sold to a guy in Sweden with my N64. It cost me £63 to post it but he did pay for the postage. I know for a fact can never afford another one and i had 2 of them at one time.

I also sold a lot of Amiga's and other computers but i am building them back up with any luck cuz I will have my own space in the hallway so i will make it look nice with all my computers setup and ready to go.

I regret selling anything I had as original.

My A500 (although I replaced that with an A1200).
My A1200 lol
My C64 collection (which had all sorts of peripherals as well - 2x1541 drived; FM synthesiser; Star LC24/10 printer; Final Cart 3; Hundreds of discs and carts) <sigh>
My ZX81
My Spectrum+
My Kawai K4r sound module (not a computer but Retro music)
My Dr550 drum machine

Oh there is too much......

Replaced most of the things I really missed again now.

Only thing I have regretted selling was my Sega Multimega/CDX and Nomad which I got from Toy R Us years ago when they were selling them off for £20 each.

Knowing what I do now, I would have bought the lot.

 

[mjnurney]

most things can be replaced with the exception of rare or one off items sadly the main thing is the the cost probably doubles every ten years lol

was that the cd-rom add on for the megadrive? or the all in one cd-rom console

 

[Gouldin]

The nomad was the handheld megadrive and the CDX was the all in one mega drive and mega CD Sony Discman lookalike.
How my friends used to tease they that it wasn't as good as there Mega CD2. What little they knew.

I might have to get another MultiMega now that I think about, was the perfect console for me and looked hilarious with my mates 32x sat on top

I thought they didn't accept 32X's? :huh:

Not properly, they fall over and the connection is stupidly cack, but it does work quite well. (Wouldn't recommend doing it tbh, you'll break the cart connector quite easily if too much pressure is applied.)

my original 500 in 1993 (traded against a 1200).

Then parted company with everything Amiga in 1999 at a Cash Convertors for £40! (1200, loads of accessories and a mountain of mint boxed games!) I still have nightmares about it but little I can do now I even recycled all my Amiga magazines ~ but I have a complete (mint) Amiga Power love nest now

I have also been scouring for mint/sealed games that were in my original collection and found quite a few I regard as my favourite games

Managed to find an original 500 screengems like the one I had back in 1990 but it doesn't have the same feel to it as my original... not bothered about the 1200 as I usually emulate these days and don't get masses amounts of time to do retro gaming anymore Maybe when I retire eh?

If I could have one thing back from all that it would be my original 500
