Write your Dumbest mistakes where you done in your live. Mine was to throw a Nintendo 64 in the recycle.
Dumbest ever? Traded away Mox Emerald and Mox Sapphire from Magic the Gathering 3rd series for a few Legend cards. Back then, Legend series was about as rare as Mox cards Today those 2 Mox cards go for about $400-$500 each and the few Legend cards I got is barely worth $50 total. Dumbest gaming related mistake: I was offered a chance of free N64 games. They had F Zero X and Turok, both former kiosks. I choose F-Zero X because Turok had ugly white label with black text. That one would have been worth a lot more because it's different from retail copy while F-Zero is the same. WAAAAAHHHHHH if only I knew back then!!!
In that vein, I had a kid walk into a store I was at in the late 90's looking to trade his Shivan Dragon. It passed the bend test, but it just didn't look right (wrong border/date combination) and I passed it off as a really good counterfeit. I found out later after seeing a few, that it was most likely a "Summer"/"Edgar" edition Shivan. That's worth about $5000 now...
I remember trading a one of the 1st Edition Pikachu promo for a few common holos from the Neo era. I also had 2 Ho-ohs, 2 Shining Gyarados and a Shining Magikarp (Those being the 5 holos I had from Neo Revelation 1st Edition, I had mostly comelete Neo Revelation and Destiny sets aside from the holos) that I blew the same way.
find that hard to believe, most people would take any game for $1 especially if it was something you had no idea about then you would most likely consider that it could be rare and buy it anyway
Asked a girl out. Head case central. Gaming related - traded in a PS1 and a shitload of games for near on nothing for a PS2 for GTA: SA... then ended up buying it all back...
I had a broken xbox come into my hands with an executor 2.6. The xbox's original owner had installed the chip with a solder-less adapter so after I realigned the adapter I accidentally put the chip in backwards and I fried it. In my defense I was buzzed on angry orchard apple cider.
Not always. I don't know his age but when I was much younger, still in public school, and had limited fund I'd often pass over titles that don't look interesting even if it's cheap. I would have passed up Stadium Event for a dollar in late 80's and early 90's because it's a sport game, required power pad, and I don't like those type of games.
It's probably true. He's talked about it before. Given all the factors surrounding the game and the whole story (not that there's much to it) from assembler, I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
way too many to list, also i'm not done with making mistakes in life yet, i'll list em when i'm done.
You win (but I know that must be painful). When I was younger I had neighbours who I would swap games and consoles with the amount of rare items and stuff I swapped / sold for a pittance back then kinda makes me bang my head on the wall now, but I suppose we wasn't to know back then.
Passed up buying conker's bad fur day for $5 at pawn shop. Back then I had to think "Is it worth getting trouble for having a M rated game and get caught in a akward scene?"
