Post Your Impulsive and Regretful Purchases Here!!!

[SwiZz]

Thought it'd be fun to see how much ppl blow their money on things, just because they think they're getting a deal. Or just post stuff you've purchased that might have been made on impulsive.

I'm sure most ppl on RFD buy stuff because they want to get it before the deal is done, or before its "out of stock" lol....you probably dont even need it.

I'll start. I've never really wanted an XBox cause I knew i'd never have time to play it often with university and coop, but then a friend's friend had a deal on a Crystal Xbox Bundle for $180, brand new! Altho the deal couldn't go through in the end, I was so ready and "into" buying an Xbox. I've made the following purchases ever since December 1st:

$219.99 - XBOX Holiday Pack (Controller, Top Spin & Amped 2)
$ 40.00 - XBOX EB Games 2 Yr Warranty
$ 34.99 - Extra Controller
$ 39.99 - XBOX HDTV AV Pack
$ 24.94 - Chrome XBOX Skin
$ 64.99 - Ninja Gaiden
$ 24.99 - Dead or Alive 3
$ 39.99 - NBA Live 2005
$ 53.91 - 8 Games From MicroPlay to trade in via BB deal for Burnout 3 & X-Men Legends
$ 29.99 - NFL Madden 2005
$ 19.99 - Fight Night 2004

Total: $ 682.84 (including tax)

......i rarely play it.....sigh

This was many years ago. I was with my friend and we were at his friends house. The guy pulled out a huge bag of weed that was literally one of those full large ziploc bags full of herbs. He said that was an ounce and it was the biggest ounce I ever saw in my life. I immediately ran to the bank pulled out $200 and swiped it from the guy. This bag was literally 3 times the size as a regular ounce, it was super light and it was pretty good also. That was one of my impulsive purchases.

bought a Palm M515 a few years back thinking I"ll get my life organized... Barely used the thing, and sold it 3 mos later. Probably a big waste of money.

ahh thats the worst. buying something u think you need. realizing you dont. selling it for maybe half the value to try to redeem some of that wasted money. then kicking yourself in the arse.

Hmmm too many.

Gameboy SP about a year ago for $110 with FF Tactics. Used it maybe 3 times.

Gamecube - Used it less than 10 times over the past year. Although it's gotten more use now because of RE4.

Xbox - $199 for the console, 120 gig hd and $100 for chip/install. It's been sitting at my friends house since May 2004 and I have no urge to pick it up.

Epson r200 printer, $9 deal. Too lazy to open it and set it up. I also forgot to send in the $20 visa rebate.... But I guess at $29 still a good deal.

I've got tonnes! The most recent one would probably be my Nintendo DS. I barely played and ended up selling it. I'll probably pick up a PSP too then once the noveltly wears off, I'd sell it.

heh...ya i noticed so many ppl buy things "just when they come out" so that they can be included in the group of those who can claim "i've got one"

for all of u who own an xbox, ps2, and a gamecube......and perhaps a DS or gameboy.......do u really play all of them? i'm sure most of it is just collecting dust

Shortly after I got my credit card I bought a bunch of car crash videos off an informercial. You know the one's where they hide the fine print about it being in US dollars, and actually being $20 per tape.

Cost me over $100, and the tapes were the biggest pile of crap I'd ever watched. In hours of footage there was maybe 2 interesting crashes. Like what they would show is a guy falling off a motorcycle, then skidding across the track. But they would show the 5 minutes of the race before the crash that had nothing, then they would replay the whole thing from 10 different angles.

I've never seen any videos since then with so much filler.

Well you gotta think of it in context.
