    Assuming it would still work after all these years, I regret selling my Apple IIc back in the eighties. I miss those simple games and emulators just aren’t the same.

    Reality is that it wouldn’t still work and all those bottom shelf floppies that I used to liberate games would have long since degraded.

    i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

    I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.

    I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.

    My mum made me sell my Gameboy Colour, which was still in great condition, for a 10er at a flea market. Still get sad about it any time I think about it… Was my first ever console and probably the reason green is my favourite colour now.

    My parents made me sell my original Gameboy before they would get me a Game Gear. I miss the way it sounded!

    Never personally sold any of my previously owned consoles, but I did “lose”* my Super Nintendo around 2001 and, sometime in 2011, my older brother messed up my PSone’s lid and it “disappeared” shortly afterwards.

    * This loss was either my mom or aunt getting rid of it because "nobody is using it anymore, it's just wasting space and gathering dust". The same end my brother's CCE Turbo Game (a brazilian famiclone) had when I was even younger

    To date, I’ve never sold one. At times it makes me feel like a hoarder, but in all honesty I do semi-regularly go back and play my old systems.

    Edit: and/or repair – my NES works again.

    I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.

    I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.

    I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.

    I regret getting rid of my Wii, only because that’s the one I’m missing to complete my Nintendo home console collection. I had initially sold it because the Wii U played Wii games, but it would be nice to have it back for a complete set.

    One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.
