What consoles did you sell & then buy back later?

i would say i have sold or traded dc, gen, snes, nes. ps1,sat, i dont regret it, cuz at the time got the new thing out, now i have got them all back and have more games then ever, for a lot less money. heck i even sold over 80 ps2 and xbox games a few weeks ago, i figure in a year or two will be as cheap as ps1 or gen cartridges
 
When I was in 4th grade, my family sold our NES to help pay for a Genesis. We regretted so much I've never let it happen to me again. (Got an NES of my own much later on.)

I have given away a few systems tho... GB when I got GBC, my NES for a top-loader, my Playstation when I got my PS2.

The GB is buried somewhere in my friend's room... in the unlikely event I ever go over again, I may take it back cuz she never plays it. It's sadly a bit hacked up now though...

The NES was loaned to my brother on the strict promise that it was still MINE, and would be returned whenever I asked (I'd like to have it on a secondary TV someday.) It's currentlly residing with some of his friends in Vancover. At least it better be...

The Playstation was given to a friend, sold back to my brother when they got a PS2, given to my sister, who sold it for $5 a few months ago. I regret letting her do that a bit...

Oh yeah- the genesis we bought back then is my bro's now, so it's either in Spokane or Vancover. I have a Gen/CD combo now.

Well, nothing wrong with keeping systems, I know I do now, but looking back at some of my older systems I got rid of, I did so to get more money for them... I once sold my old NES for 35 dollars (it was on the fritz)... years later I purchase another for 10... I certainly couldnt get 35 for one (unless is is a top loader, but it isnt)... it worked out well for me

Now... my repurchased systems
NES... dont regret, got alot for it and games, most of my 100+ current NES titles I got free
SNES.. have a much better and cheaper to buy collection now
Genesis.. same... except I miss Phantasy Star IV and Psycho Fox(which I played on my SMS converter)
Saturn (regret this most of all, thinking about some of the games I had, such as the rare Christmas Nights demo)
PS (sold the old one for 40 when I got a PS2... but to save wear and tear on the PS2 when playing older PS1 games, I picked up a PSone, later got an LCD screen, and a car adaptor... only paid about 50 for all of it together...)
