I'm curious about everyone's posts. Maybe you sold something just because you knew the profit and not because of the need for money. Maybe it was a planned flip. And do you still think about losing the item from your possession?
Personally, mine was a baseball signed by 12 of the LEGIT members of the 500 Home Run Club. I was moving back from Colorado and needed the assistance that it brought. I still miss it. The autographs were from Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Mike Schmidt, Ernie Banks, Reggie Jackson, Ted Williams, Willie McCovey, Eddie Murray, Eddie Matthews, and a childhood hero from Payette, Idaho - Harmon "Killer" Killebrew. Good thing I still have over 40 HK signed items in my collection. But I really need to get another Mick.

I don't know about treasured, but the most awesome thing I ever sold was a stand up R2D2 Pepsi cooler. Like the ones they use in supermarkets as displays. A buddy of mine helped himself to it after a movie promotion was over, probably for Episode I since this was a long time ago.i went to eBay with it and made $100.

I sold a brand new GameBoy Micro on Amazon about a year ago for around $200. I somewhat regret it, only because I have the 20th anniversary edition boxed and the Black one sealed, so I don't have the complete set anymore. But, the $200 was nice...

Sealed Dracula-X. I didn't particularly want to let it go, but the offer made it a no brainer. I still wouldn't mind coming across a loose cart to play at some point though.

I sold Final Fantasy 1 for thirty bucks to Funco-land back in the day so I could get some other games. Not sure if I regret it or not. Was probably a good price at the time, the lady who worked there was insane.

Well, I flipped alot of things over the years to get money for other things. But probably the one I regret the most was a SNES lot I bought off of "yahoo groups" sales thread.
It was a boxed SNES ( Super Mario All Stars version I think ) with the following games all CIB
DKC 1, 2, and 3
Super Metroid
Super Mario Kart
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Sim City
Wario Woods
Tetris / Dr. Mario
and a bunch of Disney games.
All CIB for 35.00
I flipped them for some serious money on FEEBAY and I really regret selling some of them.

I sold a 96 Honda 300 Four-trax 4x4 a couple years ago to help pay for a reloading press. Lately, been thinking about selling my Glock cause I hardly ever shoot the damn thing!

Good thing I still have over 40 HK signed items in my collection. But I really need to get another Mick.
I've got 4 or 5 Killebrew signed cards, from when I used to collect Twins stuff. Such a classic signature.
Not much I actually regret selling, which is great. A few things stick out though:
--- Sealed, first printing of Pier Solar. The pile of money I got for that - and the really great CIB SNES games I turned it into - make that one easy to swallow.
--- Sealed Time Gal for Sega CD. I didn't collect for the system at the time, had just moved to Portland, and needed the money (see also: multiple sealed copies of Zelda: Twilight Princess, sealed Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and almost all of my valuable strategy guides)
--- Boxed Contra Force. Don't remember when or why I sold it. Probably one of the many times I toyed with the idea of selling off my collection. This is the only one I truly wish that I had back, because I doubt I'll ever shell out the money to replace it.

I wish I hadnt sold off my turntables and mixer. I only had my setup for 3 or 4 months and some one stole my serato box for hooking everythin up to the pc (msrp $600). So I said fuck it and sold everything

I don't think I really sold anything to be honest... I keep thinking but nothing comes up. I don't believe in trading, selling, pawning, other options, etc... because I put the time and effort into collecting this stuff and keeping it in good condition and I know it all has a great home. I just don't believe in removing things in any fashion that I have personally taken the effort to acquire. Don't know if that makes me a wack'a'do or what.... *shrugs* It's not like shit is just laying everywhere and unorganized, everything is kept clean, put in its proper place, dusted and maintained.

I try to keep all my good games.
I do think I sold a lot of average/boring games at too low a price though.

I sold pieces of a M:tG legacy deck for around $800 to pay for a moving truck so my wife and I could come back home after being away for a few years.
