Things you wish you'd never sold

[phreatobite]

There are many but I still wake up in the night screaming about a minty 65 back R2-D2 and a lovely carded Made in Mexico Gamorrean Guard I let go on Ebay for a near pittance a while back.

What's yours?

 

[pizzathehutt]

mine is probably similar to some other members on here.

moved out last year and had to downsize for a flat, my girlfriend at the time wanted me to so i sold all my ships and playsets

shortly afterwards we broke up (not because of that though) and i was pissed that i had sold them

me and the girfriend are now back together though

yeah bit of a long story short, we booked tickets for glasto when we were still together, we split up on fairly good terms and decided it would be ok to still go, it was a bit awkward as expected until the saturday night some random bloke tried chatting her up infront of me and she was entertaining him, i kicked off! grabbed her and kissed her and from then on things were different, ive basically grown some balls since we first went out and i wont stand for **** anymore and that works for her and us.

sometimes women like men being arseholes i guess?

 

[Section 8]

True. I've been treating the wife like **** for years, and still can't get shut of her.

 

[robpmarsh]

my list is far too long....but here goes:

unopened Death Star playset (gave it to my cousin who then trashed it!)
original movie prop Stormie helmet I was given when I worked in the videogame industry by a Lucasarts employee for helping out at a trade show (still brings a tear to my eye )
my Six Million Dollar Man toys (worth a fortune now apparently!)
a complete set of 1st edition LEGO Star Wars unopened that I sold for about £100 (must have been at least 15 boxes including doubles or stuff like Slave 1 and Y-Wing/TIE Fighter Pursuit!!!)

I also remember as a kid being so excited I was given a Darth Vader figure I ripped the cardback in half trying to open it quickly......who knew how much it would be worth now???

 

[chrisfnx]

Endor tri logo playset, Luke Bespin tri logo. The playset wasnt in great condition, but was still good to have it though.

 

[x-pack]

The collection was filling a small room round my mums so I sold loads. In fact I bet some of you bought it (i used to put free gifts in the packages).

There was a mint ESB boxed x-wing. Unopened mini rigs including a speeder bike that the buyer mailed back to me damaged. Shop stock figures that I picked up in 1995. Loads and loads of stuff.

I kept my favourites but cannot account for my vcj. Probably lost in the attic.

 

[palitoyjunky]

Prob the first mint Palitoy 30 back Luke Bespin I picked up in 1997 for £80

 

[_Lee_]

These were my most memorable pieces, aswell as being something i wish i never sold.

 

[Mr-shifter]

My childhood collection, that I car booted.

 

[Richard_H]

I don't really have any and saying childhood collection is a cop out.

 

[benny100]

Sold a misb hoth play set for £20 and a ticket to see Cast at Leeds Met Uni in 1996!

Also sold my only carded figures that I'd kept from childhood, sw hammerhead, prune face and a tri logo leia bespin about 1-2 years later. My mum said at the time I shouldn't have got rid. She knows. :roll:

 

[Robstyley]

I sold most of my childhood Star Wars collection at a boot sale in Essex in the late 80's/early 90's when I was a teenager. I had got into music, booze and girls and just had no interest in them anymore. Someone bought the Falcon, Slave 1, Darth Tie Fighter, Mini rigs and all my figures(about 40) for his little boys. Luckily (in hindsight) he didn't want all of it and neither did anyone else! As a result I've still got my X-Wing, Snowspeeder, AT-ST, Speeder bike, Hoth Wampa and Taun Taun. I'm well chuffed to still have them and they are my favourite things in my collection but I'm completely gutted about the figures. I would give my left nut to get them back

Large list & not just SW

Childhood collection has to be right up there though.

2 x Palitoy Power Droid Baggies for 50 each before I knew what I do now & I found out later the ebay user was no other than Bill Rodgers :evil:

My Grifter

TZR 250 - I could cry about that one all day

Not sold but actually thrown away - the cremedelacreme, at the age of 12 my mother asked if I want the Beatles tapes & me as a foolish 12 year old said no Mum the Beatles are out, now these were 8 track recordings my sister did of them live at the cellar in Hamburg when they were performing there, 2 full nights with the original 8 track recorder they were taped on, two full spools & off to the local tip they went - what a wing nut & what a huge loss to the music world as I don't think recordings of either night exist

 

[Section 8]

I've still got most of my childhood collection, but I did sell my Luke Stormy.

Saying that the funds I raised from selling the Stormy went on buying other figures which was really the start of me collecting, so mixed feelings.

I recently sold most of my minty loose collection which I already regret and have already started buying back. No big loss as I now know not to do it again.

 

[Stargeezer]

Maybe stupid, but i wish i kept this trio, since i can never get it Back again at the prices i bought them initially.

 

[mumbo]

Childhood collection was given away by my wicked step mother so had no control over that :evil: otherwise thankfully haven't really parted with anything that I've regretted then again haven't owned anything is of significant value unlike some of you guys

Sold my soul to the SW franchise :lol:
