I resently mentioned this but for me it's a Sega Saturn promo VHS tape, and as a kid I never owned a Saturn.
My reason was that I was a serious gamer as a kid but in college I was an idiot and sold everything.
That VHS tape is, to my knowledge, the last and only piece of gaming memorabilia that I own from my childhood. It's a pretty rare tape and would be hard to replace, even though it's probably worth no more than $25. Regardless, I wouldn't take $1,000 for it and even is someone really did offer me $25,000, I just couldn't let it go.
Of course, if you started offering prices high enough to pay for my young children's education, grudgingly, I'd be ablidged to sell. There is not price for me, personally, that I'd want to sell at. Regardless, there does seem to be a point where it seems a little short sighted and negligent to not consider the good that could come of letting go, taking the money and putting it to proper use.
