I've had a lot of machines come and go, but I miss WH2O the most by far.

#10 10 years ago

Bally Paragon. One of my very first pins.
Gtb Caveman, not a great player but unusual vid/pin combo

I've sold WCS94, HS2, MSF, JD, AP, RBION, STTNG, Corvette, BDK.

The only ones I miss slightly are WCS and STTNG.

But I'll take my current collection over them any day!(Congo, Tommy, TZ, AFM, CV, Tron, LOTR.)

DE SW. Kicked myself a few months after getting rid of it. Started looking for one. Chad's new code was announced when I was still looking. Finally found one after almost two years of looking. The new code makes getting another one all that much better.

I kind of regret selling Transporter the Rescue, but I wouldn't say I'm kicking myself. I know the person that bought it, so I may have a chance of getting it back at some point.

Frax, I can read between the lines and I don't see my Tron going anywhere for a long, long time.

#15 10 years ago

The close out CV I had. I'll never be able to afford a replacement as nice.

#16 10 years ago

I've sold a ton of games. The only ones I miss are NGG and WCS.

Missing NGG is getting worse now that rules are being rewritten too!

#17 10 years ago

Elvira and the Party Monsters.

My wife is mad that I sold it. Of course, she didn't tell me that until after the game was gone!
I have first option to buy it back if the new owner sells, but until then I am in the doghouse.

Kings and Queens

I just sold a nice Sing Along - I may regret that at some point.

#18 10 years ago

MB $5K 3 years ago

#27 10 years ago

the twelve games I had to sell to settle the divorce so that female dog could have half the cash!!

#28 10 years ago

TOTAN and IJ

Sold each one for $1700 in 2008. Now to get them back in the condition they were in it would cost around $6000 for the IJ and $8000 for the TOTAN. I kick myself all the time.

#29 10 years ago

Sold many over the years. The one wish I had kept the most is Junkyard.

#30 10 years ago

The only ones I miss are Popeye,BS Dacula,& Champion Pub. All the rest I was happy to see leave.

#31 10 years ago

I like threads like these, they remind me NEVER to sell my BSD...ever...

I also got a pimped out Tron PRO recently...it may be a forever keeper too...

#36 10 years ago

Kicked myself for selling my first AFM. Kissed myself for buying my second one.

#37 10 years ago

I've sold lots of games that I miss, but the biggest selling mistake was BSD. It was the most beautiful example that I've seen, and I enjoyed it for 8 years. It'd still be here if I didn't need the money so badly back then.

#38 10 years ago

Almost all
The most: bk2k, star gazer and nine ball

#39 10 years ago

Gottlieb Waterworld :/

#40 10 years ago

Games that left collection permanently are cactus canyon, jumping jack, tspp, lotr, Tom. only miss jj and don't have room to bring back such a basic game. Rest were terrible. I know some will disagree but to each their own.

#42 10 years ago

A gorgeous Genie in flawless shape. I doubt I'll ever see one that nice again, but the family didn't really care for it.

#43 10 years ago

You always love your first machine, and therefore always regret selling it.

#44 10 years ago

The Shadow (bought another)
Demolition Man (bought another)
Johnny Mnemonic (bought another)
Judge Dredd (if space permitted I would have bought another)

Fortunately the second time around for all these games were much nicer examples except for maybe my Shadow.

#45 10 years ago

I've only sold four so far (LOTR, JD, Stargate & F-14)

Guess which one I miss the most.









Wrong answer; it's JD.

#46 10 years ago

I wish I did not sell any machine in the past, held onto them and sold them now. that way I could have paid off my house. Or close to it.

#47 10 years ago

wolverine! just kidding.

#48 10 years ago

I'm more bummed when I sell a super nice example of a game and then realize I probably won't find another in that condition around me. As for title itself, not so much since pretty easy to come across a game over in this area. If really bummed you sold a title then its pretty likely you can ask around and in a few months get it back

#49 10 years ago

Every pin I've sold champ pub mostly

#50 10 years ago

Popeye as silly as that sounds it was super nice and someone offered a Bride of pinbot .
