Just curious as a newer collector what people have regretted letting go and why?
(Topic ID: 269520)
My first Hokus Pokus. It was my first EM ever, happens to be a great game and the playfield/overall condition was flawless.
Sold it to a great guy though. Hope he still has it.
I bought a second one and repainted the cabinet. Maybe someday I'll own a 3rd one.

10 years in the hobby, and so far no regrets selling anything. Only a couple I miss a bit having at my house, but they were sold to friends within 10 miles, so I can still visit them often enough.
I regret trashing an Empire strikes back
If i knew then (pre internet days) what i know now, i could have kept it running
Still a POS game though
I've only sold a few and no regrets yet but me and a friend have agreed on a price for my ft for a sale in a few months and I think I might regret selling it but you cant keep them all.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Every one, except the ones I hated. So, every one !!
You never disliked a single one? That’s awesome.

That’s a awesome way to sell a pin, with visitation rights lol
Quoted from Coz:I sold a Deadpool pro last year. Wish I had that one back
I’m not keen on the theme, it’s pretty though and I want to play one and get my wife to play one and see how we like it, I keep hearing such great things about it.

Capt fantastic was pretty lame, but fun to try. Enjoy em all
Quoted from SDpinballer:LoTR. I won’t be missing her much longer though.
LOTR for me as well. LOVE the theme and the game, but unfortunately had to sell it a few years ago for financial reasons. Now can't afford it anymore. When I purchased it it was only $4.5k, now can't even see any for anything less than $6.5k. Maybe someday.
TSPP. Had to sell for money and space. Deepest rule set ever.

Yep - in a perfect world, I wouldn't have sold any.
SIGH
The top of my list I would say TWD, LOTR, TZ, Shadow, and DW.
Games I sold that I don't super mega miss are few. I like Iron Maiden, but don't have to play that ever again. Same for Ironman. JM is fine but not ever coming back. Fish Takes is cute but don't think I have to have it back. Family Guy. Love the designer and theme, but damn that game is pretty bare.
I can’t say there are any. Otherwise, I would not have sold them! Also, I can always track down another (whatever title).
I miss the quirkyness of Star Trip. I do miss that game sometimes and then immediately remember how awkward it is to move around and then decide I never need another one.
So, nope. None of them.
Quoted from drummermike:None of them.
I regret buying a second DE SW.
Why the regret?
STTNG. Its been 20 years ago and I still ask the owner to sell it back to me, almost weekly. Its not going to happen so the hunt is on.
I don't really regret selling any, as I had to to buy the pinball machines I have now. If given the chance though, I wouldn't mind owning Cybernaut again.
