    Default ----??? Should I have bought that thread ???----

    Is it just me or do people sometimes get in a mood where they have to buy somthing even if they dont need it only to get really excited when you have it then the next day comes and your like why did i buy that happened to me sooo many times I regret it and should have saved the money for something else.


    Post a picture or tell about objects you have bought and regreted.

    Mine would have to be PS3 games bought heaps but hardly or dont play most of them at all, others would include buying heaps of parts and stuff for my old car, cheapin out on a good TV only to regret not waiting another couple of months until the LCDS came out. many others i cant think of atm too tired.

    Mostly buying CDs and DVDs on special just because they're cheap, and then listening to them or watching them and realising they were on special for a reason - they're shit

    I'm getting a new ninja 250r tomorrow and I already know I should just pay off the car I already have. Hopefully It doesn't just sit in the garage forgotten in two weeks.
    That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.

    Man, every time I go out drinking I wake up with an empty wallet and a room full of useless crap.
    Things on that list would include:
    - every spiderman toy from Hungry Jacks
    - remote control toys from kmart
    - bottles of spirits I don't drink because I thought there was something funny about them at the time
    The list goes on.

    But the biggest thing I regretted straight away was probably the roof mounted dvd player for my car. I didn't put it in for almost a year, then it worked for a couple months and almost a year later I still haven't bothered pulling it out to have a go at fixing it.

    I've about a grand or so worth of table tennis bats. But that's all I can think of. I keep believing there's a better one out there however I'm still using the same one in competition that I allways have before I bought any others

    $150 for +10 speed? Sounds like a bargain!

    There are a few things I regret buying, probably the biggest is a block that is worth less now than when I bought it. Anyone want to buy a cheap block in Boddington WA?

    hmm i do this pretty often. Bought an ipod touch off ebay, bidded on it because it was cheap.. it was a 8gb one, played with it for a couple days, liked it, but... i already have an 80gb ipod lol. So it just so happened that a mate was looking at buying one so i sold it to him for the same price i got it. saving him $250

    apart from that, a pda phone which i used for about 6 months, but it was so big and annoying i went back to my k750i which i had only bought a few months before the pda lol. still have it never use it.

    various things for the car that ive bought on impulse. like the sound system, rims and the exhaust, all on impulse. Days where i had just been bored at home screwing around on here or ebay or something, went out and just bought stuff i didn't really need. i still like and use all those things but had i not bought them then i probably would not have spent the money on this car. The rims i had known about for a while, because i got them off my cousin, didn't want to buy them originally because i wanted bigger rims, but i got bored of my stockies one day, had just gotten the stimulus package, so i went and got them off him lol. i guess the only thing that was worth it was the sound system, because i use it every day and enjoy it

    i'm lucky i stopped myself from buying a 360 the other month for no reason lol, i know for sure i'd only use it once.


    can't think of anything else at the moment, but i think i might be possibly the worst when it comes to impulse buying lol

    Sigh.
    I have two horses:
    4 saddles, one fits both of my horses perfectly, which is pretty much the only one I ride in.
    7 full bridles, plus heaps of spare bridle parts/bits.
    I've lost count of how many rugs I've got, including the rugs that are miles too small for both of my horses.
    HUGE amounts of riding clothes for myself, which never get used, because the ones I always use are way more comfortable than anything else.
    4 helmets.
    God knows how many fly veils.
    .. plenty more..
    All for two horses and one of me.

    Another thing I regret getting, which I did from the very second I got it, was my Hiptop.
    I got it because I liked the plan that it was on. But it was the biggest brick, and a pain in the arse when I was working, because it would never fit in my pocket, and it was hard to use with one hand, which was how I had to use it a majority of the time.
    Stupid thing!
