I've never met anyone who got rid of any classic video game stuff who didn't regret it. The moral of the story is, don't. This is why I have an entertainment center full of stupid old consoles and three bookshelves full of games for all kinds of systems.

A few systems I traded in over the years to fund newer consoles when I was young and didn't know any better. I got all of them back, though, and in most cases before they became trendy enough again for the used prices to skyrocket.

I got rid of all of mine so far except my current one (switch 1) and have never regretted it. They take up lots of space and you cannot take the memories from me regardless. Emulation works great and I have a couple original NES and SNES controllers wired to work via USB.
