Seller’s remorse: a kick in the teeth.
After working hard at it for a while, you’re finished with or stuck on a game, and you just decide to unload it. I mean, you’re not going to play it anymore, you can get a little money for it and play something new. No problem. You hock it on eBay or half.com, or if you don’t know better you trade it in for about one sixth that amount in credit at a gaming specialty shop. Problem solved.
Until a couple of months later when you desperately want to play that game again, working through some of the harder difficulty levels, finally finishing the game you didn’t have the balls for last time around, you know what I mean. And you sold it! For almost nothing! Gah. It’s one of the worst feelings in gaming.
Well, now’s the time to get that game back. Find it used somewhere and pick it up, but be patient. The prices only go down from here, since we’re at the end of the generation. Unless of course it’s no longer being manufactured because the publisher went belly-up. Or it was discontinued because of slow sales. All I can say at this point is happy hunting.
I’ve unloaded Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and some other good games and regret the loss. Luckily for me these games are going for very little money and I’ll pick them up here and there. Unfortunately, they went for very little when I sold them to begin with.
Let’s hear what game you most regret selling.
