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.

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=

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. >_>

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 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. : /
