The list of games that I used to own, sold, and bought again.
Struggle of Empires – I sold it right after reading the rules. Fortunately, a few years later I thought like giving it another chance and after few more year I finally played the game and really like it. Old Wallace's input just tends to be worthwile.
The New Era + Winter – it used to be one of my favourite games. When a big box was announced, I sold it while it was worth something and believed I would buy the new thing. However, 51st State: Master Set wasn't just a reprint, as it was firstly presented, but a new game that doesn't seem that interesting. After several years I rebought the original thing and keep liking it, but I don't love it anymore. I also don't think anymore that the Winter expansion is that great as I once thought.
Terra Mystica – I've always liked it, but at the time thought that the plays with my group weren't satisfying. Again, after few years I felt like giving it another chance and it was the right decision; the game is a top tier euro for me.
Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game – I sold it after I decided it was too random. It's not the best game our there, but it's solid and has a very appealing theme, so eventually I got it back.
Less than 2 months ago I sold Cosmic Encounter since it's never clicked with my main group. However I know (from playing with another group) how hilarious this game can be and I already regret the decision. Probably I'll buy it again...
Then there is also Zombicide that by no means isn't an outstanding game, but I think it does well what it wants to do and I currently don't have any similar game in the collection anymore. Maybe I'll purchase one day one of a hundred new editions...
Update: I bought Cosmic Encounter again. On the other hand, the urge to buy Zombicide luckily faded away.
