The only system I had thrown away, which I allowed because I was a retarded child, was my first NES. It started developing the blinking screen, cartridge reading problem, and being long before we had any form of internet, me and my dad couldnt figure out how to fix it. My dad did know his way around electronics and to his credit, he did open it up and try and figure out the issue, but he lost patience and just told me he would buy me another second hand system if we could throw this one away (he doesnt like keeping stuff around that is "broken").
To this day, it still haunts me, especially after learning about what a simple fix it could have been. I ended up buying like 12 NES systems in the decades after when I would see them for cheap, but I still mourn for my original.
Other then that, I wish I still had some of the console/game boxes I had that got thrown out in the excitement of opening up gifts on Christmas morning/birthdays.
I did once however catch my mom once trying to throw out a bag with some of my old action figures. A friend in high school told me how his parents threw out him and his brothers entire childhood game collection.
