Bally, 1975What pin or pins do you regret selling and why?
Did you make a trade for something you ended up not liking, was there some mode you really loved, maybe you just didn't realize how much a pin had grown on you or were you strapped for cash?
Were you able to get that pin back?
Discuss!
I was sad to see my Taxi go, but I can only have four at a time so if I want to shake things up one has to leave. I promised myself I would get another one in collector quality condition in ten years.
2 games I regret:
Sinbad. First game I owned, and while I loved it, I had my newbie eyes on deeper, newer games. After going through a few different eras, I realized early SS is my sweet spot for owning and I actively sought one out again. Finally ended up with a second one in much better shape than my first.
Flash Gordon: one of my favorite games of all time, and I knew I would regret letting it go the moment the deal was offered. I got an amazing trade deal out of it so I couldn't refuse, but I've been looking for another in equal or better shape the instant it left. Just a fantastic effing game that I miss everyday.
Out of all the games I have had...
My first Indy 500. Got another one that is even nicer!
Card Whiz. Between this 2 player and the 4 player Royal Flush, I can find another one again relatively easily. I just have to wait for the right deal.
Other than that... I'm good.
Williams Blackout. This was my first pin. Upgraded all the electronics to bullet proof it... but then I thought that I wanted something newer. Turns out, I like the simplicity of the old SS era. Been looking to acquire one again but nothing has come up nearby. I've never regretted selling any other pin... so I guess that means something.
man i miss that LOTR
Addam's Family
It was my first pin and a gorgeous example of it. I actually tried to buy it back from the owner a few years later. I had to do some detective work to even find the person I sold it too. He is the co-owner of one of the local skihills around me. I finally tracked him down after a couple weeks through one of his assistants, but he didn't want to sell it, even offered him 2k more than I sold it to him for haha...
Safe Cracker for me...I got a pretty good deal on it and then sold it to help pay off a bill. Probably should have kept it and found the money a different way. Pretty sure I won't find one again for the price I originally paid. I recently sold my LOTR and thought I might miss it more than I do but I really don't.

This is me 2 years in the future......BSD. Ha.Knowing what I know now and 2 years into the future so glad to hang on to Vlad.
The Addams Family. It was a necessary sacrifice when I was shopping for Monster Bash. Nevertheless, I'd love to have one back in the lineup someday. I love pretty much everything about that game.
I also regretted parting with BSD and CFTBL... so I eventually wound up replacing both.
South Park - I was always half torn on PROCing the machine.
Home use only barely played Iron Man, I will get another soon!
Cirqus Voltaire I bought in 1998 . Bad move on my part to let it go. Now the price is to high and the inserts are ghosting on most examples . 
Quoted from Whysnow:WWFRR.
I sold it too quickly after getting it. The software stunk, but it sure was fun to shoot.
That game is packed with shots.
In this order:
ACDC Premium - just picked up a Pro, which is great game too!
BSD - bought a second BSD, then sold that one too.
BSD again - bought a third one and it's a keeper.
CV - really miss this one, but won't pay today's market price.
WH2O - great game. Would like another if the prices come down a bit.
POTC - on the hunt for another one.
BDK - on the hunt for another one.
I had a documented low play HUO EATPM which I regretted selling. Turns out I sold it under market value too. Bought a very nice replacement one for significantly more about six months later.
Also sold my HUO HH because my wife wanted all the wide body games gone. Then she complained I sold the HH. Fortunately, I was able to buy it back (at a higher price) from the person I sold it too. I did feel bad for the guys that to move it up out of the basement and then back down again.
I never thought id miss my White Water but recently I kinda do. I find it to easy but love the overall package.
The Medieval Madness at the Hall of Fame in Vegas used to be mine, so I'll say, that one. Last I saw, it still had the custom instruction cards I put in it.
