I sold my Gamecube for $25 (used). Then Metroid Prime 2 came out, so I bought it back for $50.

Net result - I lost $25. Stupid me. I'll never make that mistake again.

DS. Bought it for under $50 (traded in games), sold it for $80 in store credit because nothing was coming out for it. Picked it back up recently.

XBox. Sold it and the games, got a ton of PS2 games.. traded in the PS2 games during a promotion and got another XBox (the first one was a Thompson).
 
I did that with my cube:

Bought it for $99.99 w/free extra controller from GS.
Sold it for $90 w/extra controller to a friend.
Then I repurchased one after trade-ins at EB for $20 out of pocket.
Then traded it in for $40.
 
I sold my PS1 and then rebought the smaller one as a combo with the screen. I wouldn't have rebought if not for the screen since I use it when I travel sometimes thus I dont regret selling it in the first place.
 
  • !.Sold my Saturn & 40 games for $500...bought it all back 2 yrs later still missing House of the Dead but on the plus side I have Panzer Dragoon Saga this time around...:)​
  • ​
  • 2.Sold my Snes with 90 games for 400+ like 4yrs ago...had every rare title you could think of minus the strategy titles...then I got a few back and sold them last year for $100...:wall:​
  • ​
  • 3.My DC collection to get a PS2...on the plus side I managed to get it all back :)​
  • ​
  • 4.Sold off my entire Psone collection on the hype that PS2 was the future, still missing 40+ games, check my tradelist ;)​
  • ​
  • 5.Sold off 70+ N64 games because they were "dated", I currently have 5 :roll:​
 
Only my saturn which I sold to pay for my DC. Later on I found a cheap one and rebought it. I kept a handful of games.

But I wouldn't make that mistake again.
 
PS2 - I still really don't like it, but I have to be able to play Silent Hill 3, and Kingdom Hearts.

Nintendo DS - Bought it at launch, and it had (IMO) one of the worst launch line-ups so I sold it. I bought it back because I wanted to play my GBA games with a backlight. I still don't care for it much though.
 
1.I've had a love/hate relationship with the PS2, sold it a couple times, but now I have a slim model that I'll keep until it dies.

2. I sold a Dreamcast and just got another a couple weeks ago and I'll probably hang on to it for a while too.
 
Purchased a DC when it dropped to $100, sold it to a friend for $75, I needed new breaks for my car. Got another one for Xmas, and just recently bought 2 for $15 at EBgames.

Traded my Genesis and games for N64, just recently bought a Genesis off ebay.
 
Honestly I would never sell a system unless I knew I could get another one and also make a profit. No system has ever come close to sucking that much for me to sell it (GameCube is borderline)...

agreed...gamecube just needs to piss me off one more time and ill trade it in for some jelly beans.
 
Most of my systems actually:

Playstation 2 (own 2 now)
Gamecube
Gameboy Advance
Dreamcast (own 3 now)
Playstation (own 2 now)
Genesis
Super NES
NES

I generally made a shitload on my sales and bought them years later for dirt cheap. Not to mention I would only rebuy them in pristine condition.
 
None of them. Anything I'd consider selling I wouldn't get enough money to make it worthwhile, and I'd just want to buy it back again later anyways.
 
None for me, but I've only been selling stuff for a year or two. Before that it'd go into the closet once I grew tired of it. (So I actually still have my original 2600, NES, and SNES.)

I am considering selling my Xbox while it still has some value, since I picked up a PS2 a month or so ago. I figure I could buy it back in 1-2 years for under $50 easily and pick up the one or two dozen games I still would want to play for pretty cheap. But I can't bring myself to do it.

Just curious, where did you sell your Cube for just $25? I know you sell stuff on eBay, or was that pre-eBay for you?
 
snes (i was like 11 bought it back at like 17) and n64 (sold it a long time ago, bought one this last year) thats all, ive done upgrades, like a old playstation 1 and 2 for the new ones, and sp-ds stuff
 
I never have. I'm just glad the 360 is backwards compatible w/ the hardrive otherwise I would want my xbox back...
 
I sold my Commodore 64 and Atari ST and am searching Ebay looking for a deal on them. (anyone have one of these GREAT systems for sale?)
 
I recently traded in my PS2 with 3 games for $115 credit at ebgames. I'm planning on buying a slim PS2 when the XBox 360 comes out in Nov, praying for a price drop.

Edit: I should also mention that it was making some bad grinding noised and Burnout 3 and DJ:FFNY kept freezing, though other games seemed fine. No DREs yet, but I figured they were coming.
 
i had my dreamcast stolen while on christmas vacation, along with about 40 game cases (no discs or manuals, they were with me in DVD cases). i bought another one at EB for $10 a couple years ago, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. i think i'm going to order one off ebgames.com, and return mine in its place.
 
I have never sold a videogame system. I have given away quite a few PCs, though. Of course, that was only after I had gone out and bought myself a spiffy new one.

I did sell my SNES and Genesis and games because I bought into the hype of the PS2 (managed to get enough store credit for the system at launch and 1 game). I have since bought them back. Although I wish I didn't, I was just a kid at the time. An idiot? I resent that. An uninformed gamer at the time who didn't understand what he had? That about sums it up.
 
Sell a game system? What'chu talkin' 'bout? I've never sold a game system. Sadly, my family donated my Commodore 64 to some charity when we got our first PC, and I'm still a bit miffed about that.
 
I sold my NES and all my games to my one cousin, I'm in the process of getting it back, we just need to find it somewhere in the house -_-
 
I have had many systems and large game collections, but have since sold each of them off. It wasn't until last year and the PS2 release of FFXI that I dove back into console gaming and bought a PS2. I then researched and gathered all of the great PS1 games I missed out on. I bought my original PS1 near release but sold it a few years later after hearing of yet another delay in FF7 and got tired of the flood of crappy games.
 
The only system I ever sold was my Atari 2600 in the early 90's. I started to regret it a few summers ago so I bought one with about 20 games.
 
I believe the only two were a NES and a Genesis. It was a very long time ago that I sold them, and I replaced both of them about 3 years ago. I replaced the Genesis with a Genesis 3. I love that little system!
 
After beating Chrono Cross, I traded in my PSX for a Gamecube(there's a story behind it, but basically Chrono Cross was so bad that I traded in the system and a ton of games the very same day. I regret trading in the games :sad: ). I picked up a Ps2 a year ago, so I haven't seen occassion to get another one.
 
I did that with my ps2 and i think a few of my gameboys then I gave my gamecube away then my cousin makes fun of me going "what are you gonna do buy that back again like you did for 3 other systems"
 
The only system I ever sold was my N64 because I got tired of gaming. A year later I bought another one so I could play WWF No Mercy, and I paid less than what I sold it for.

I'm currently selling my Nintendo Gamecube since there is almost nothing I want to play on it. I'm keeping the two games I like and will play them on my brother's Gamecube if I want.

I would sell my older stuff too, I don't regret selling systems like many people do, but I wouldn't get much for them so I just keep them.

Not really its only select games. Most likely just the popular ones.

And no I have never sold a system and never will!
