Oh god i remember being a kid and succumbing to that temptation every time a new game that i like comes out

#3 Posted by AjayRaz (12252 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

i've never sold a game in my life. i don't understand how people can do that :( 

#4 Posted by mutha3 (4963 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I never sell anything(game-related at least).
 
 But that's probably because I only buy games I really like(and like to replay 'em) and have enough of a disposable income that money isn't an issue for me.

When I was a kid I sold pretty much my whole library of playstation 1 and 2 games. I've now started re-buying a lot of the ps2 games I once had, and more.  I had a ton of super rare playstation 1 games too.

I've told the story before but I used to trade in games all the time from the period I discovered Funcoland (1996) to this console gen (2005).  Not only would I trade in games but I'd trade in systems and later rebuy them.
 
I specifically made a vow to myself before the 360 came out that I wouldn't trade in any games this gen.  Well technically I broke that when I recently traded in Oblivion for PS3 (I have it on 360 and PC too).  The bug is mostly gone now.

Sadly I must sell games if I wish to continue my hobby. I do have a dream one day of having a large collection of games though.

#8 Posted by Yummylee (18167 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Better late than never. I still have copies of games I can never even play again. I just feel so attached to my ever growing collection that it'd be a sin for me to sell one D=

Selling my games? What are you, some kind of barbarian?
#10 Posted by Jeust (9622 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I sold God of War. ^^

#11 Posted by one_2nd (2359 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Ok. 

#12 Posted by GetEveryone (4448 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I'm about to flog my entire 360 collection. There are around 20 or so games, and the thing that depresses me is that for all their worth (probably in the region of £800), I'll be lucky to make 60 back.
 
Agreed on regret part, too. I sold a bunch of my N64 games a few years back, spent the earnings on sweets and magazines (I was only a kid), and have never forgiven myself since.

#13 Posted by AlisterCat (5025 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I sold 2 games this week to buy Starcraft 2 but my rule is to never sell games. I only buy games I know I'll love and play. I rarely make a mistake, and rarely have to sell anything. I rent everything else.

I trade/sell games all the time - they have no emotional connection to me whatsoever. They're just interactive entertainment streamed from a disk afterall.

#17 Posted by Meteora (5783 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I never sell my games for some reason. Its pretty odd, because I never go back to playing them (with a few exceptions). I think I like to keep them on my shelve as some kind of large library of games, a collection of sorts.

#18 Posted by markini6 (365 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I'm exactly the same, I sell them then end up buying most of them again some months down the line. I've recently re-purchased Uncharted 2, but it's actually worked out well because I can play the single player again and almost experience it for the first again. I've actually bought and re-bought Borderlands a ridiculous three times, due to wanting to play the DLC or seeing someone else play it and getting an urge. However, one game I definitely don't regret trading in/selling is MAG. Not once have I missed it :)

I only sell the shitty ones.

#23 Posted by girdz (3339 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I have no problem selling games like Bionic Commando and Dark Void that I have no plans of replaying if it helps me pay for a game I know I will enjoy.

#24 Posted by ninjakiller (3405 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Never sell any of my games.  You never know when you'll get the urge.  

#25 Posted by PK_Koopa (563 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I sell my games 'cause I need the money, however I keep the ones I really like.

#26 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8995 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I admit to having sold some games that I now regret selling, but for the most part I now only get rid of stuff that isn't very good in the first place. Thanks to that extra cash, I bought some games that would have otherwise been ignored, such as Resident Evil 4 and Burnout Paradise.

#27 Posted by DanielJW (4914 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I sold my SNES and all it's games a while ago. I am now disgusted with myself.

I like to keep my games and display them on my shelf for all to see and marvel at my great taste.

#30 Posted by adoggz (1878 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

the value proposition just isn't there for me to consider reselling my games.

#31 Posted by buwchbach (287 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

The only games I have ever sold have been; 
Call of Duty 4 
Call of Duty World at War 
Assassins' Creed 
Paper Mario 2(To MUCH regret) 
and my gamecube which I sold upon getting my Wii, I regret this because the GameCube looks way cooler than the wii, and I am a collector of some sorts. 
I no longer sell my games away.

#32 Posted by ch13696 (4582 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

The last time I sold a crap load of games was when I needed the money to get into a school. If you look at my PS3 list, you'll see what I traded in. It sucks, but wait a while till all those games are $20 or below. Most likely when the PS4 is out.

#34 Posted by FateOfNever (1639 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I stopped selling games a long time ago after I realized how much I regretted getting rid of old games, since I'd always have an itch to play them later sometime.  A friend of mine though has been absolutely terrible when it comes to video games - I think, in all, he has bought and resold a 360 something like five times.  He'd get bored of the games on the system, see something else he wanted, sell everything for the system, and buy something new (like a PS3 or a Wii) and then get bored with that system, see something he wanted on the 360 again, sell off the other system and everything for it and re-buy the 360.  It blows my mind, the amount of money he's lost selling and buying stuff that way would more than be enough for him to own each system AND probably own a decent gaming PC by now.

#35 Edited by SythonX7 (130 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

Sold my PS2, about 25 PS2 games, my DS lite, and about 15 DS/GBA games for a 360, MASSIVE REGRET! NEVER AGAIN!

#36 Posted by CaptainTightPants (2777 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

As a kid selling games i owned was the only way to buy newer games, yes i regret it but it had to be done.

#37 Posted by yakov456 (1772 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

When I had a 360 I played Oblivion like crazy. Sold the 360 and Oblivion after my second RROD. After owning my ps3 for two years I had to revisit it, god I love that game.

#38 Edited by Leadcat (223 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I would never sell a console, but I have no problem selling certain games.
 
Of course I always keep my favourites, but sometimes keeping a game that's just going to sit there makes no sense to me. I sold SF4 when Super came out because I would literally never play it again. But that doesn't mean I always sell the old one if a new version comes out, I sold DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 because if I ever wanted to play one of those games I would go to DMC3 or Ninja Gaiden Black. I'm never going to get the craving to play the lesser game in a series. 
 
EDIT: Should add this doesn't mean I only keep one game per series. I've got more Final Fantasies and Street Fighters than I'll ever need. >_>

#39 Posted by Andrela (621 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I keep games I like. Games that I know I'll nevr play again i.e Assassins Creed or Gears of War 1, I'll trade if their worth something appropriate

#40 Posted by JackSukeru (5154 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I traded in New Super Mario Bros when Pokemon Pearl came out, it's the only game I've ever sold that I have later rebought though.

#41 Posted by SpiralStairs (1020 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I still regret selling Chrono Cross. I have a nice collection at the moment, and even the games I don't like I keep.

#42 Posted by IamTerics (296 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

 I once sold my entire Xbox collection. All I got was 30 bucks which i used to get Far Cry 2 for PS3. All I regret is Psychonauts and Stranger's Wrath. I still have my SNES though. Dont care what anyone says Super Godzilla is amazing.

this.  Every game that I've purchased, I keep forever!
#44 Posted by ATrevelan (602 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I haven't traded in anything I've bought in the past several years, unless it was total crap (Too Human, for example.) 
 
I learned my lesson after selling Valkyrie Profile (!!!!) for psx and later watching the prices skyrocket. I should have kept it forever and ever, because it's awesome, or at least waited a few more years and sold it for a small fortune.

I dont understand how anyone can support a hobby like gaming without selling games you don't play anymore.
How do you live with shelves of potential money in your room?
#47 Posted by shadows_kill (3162 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I buy games I want to own and GameFly stuff I just want to play once or twice.
#49 Posted by HatKing (4415 posts) - 2 years, 9 months ago

I sold a bunch of games when I was younger, usually only owning a few games at a time.  Then I realized the amount of money I was losing.  I then quit selling game, I built up a huge library of games and never played half of them.  Then I grew up and realized there are important things like rent and insurance I need to pay for.  I usually just avoid buying the game in the first place nowadays. : /
