Have you ever bought something expensive and regretted it

That's ridiculous. Couldn't you sell it, buy a BR driver for the PC or a BR player for the TV, and be left with a bit of cash on top of that? Although I have no idea how much that stuff costs.

Tbh I think beats look really gangster and punky. I dunno about that. I'd rather have something a bit more understated like Bose or Sennheiser. But they are good quality headphones.

sigh...
Did you not return it for an exchange then?

Ive got it now. Its not costing me anything more.

Im quite fortunate in that Im not strapped for cash so its kind of just a thing that I have now, besides, it means Ive got all the platforms.

Anung has a handbag

I strawberry floating told her referring to it as a hand bag would get me mocked. Losta Stella, angry fella.

I have to admit i though maybe Anung was a girl when i read that. I wasn't sure.

My Macbook Air. Hoping to sell it soon for some extra cash.

Anung's a girl

Poor Anung.

I for one welcome our new Anung overladies.

Steve told me he'd bought a diamond engraved dildo for a shocking price. Don't think he's ever regretted the purchase mind.

I don't waste too much money, I like sitting on it. Which is bloody stupid considering they tax interest :fp:

However, all the expensive things I have bought I have not regretted. I am thinking of buying a smart phone, and I am a bit nervous of getting buyers remorse though.

My biggest regret is buying the GT5 PS3 bundle. I really wanted to play it and was devastated when it was gooseberry fool. PS3 has probably been on for a couple of hours since. Ive had it for a year

Sell it?

I cant do that. I need to justify the purchase.

Im currently pretending that its a bluray player, despite never actually watching blurays on it. Its the only reason I havent bought a bd drive for the PC. I dont even have any PS3 games

If you sell it on, you have no purchase left to justify.

No, it just becomes a net loss.

Nintendo Wii. What the hell was I thinking? :fp:

Nintendo lost the plot with that console.

Oh cmon it's worth it for the Mario Galaxies.

An engagement ring.

Going on the evidence in this thread consumer spending should be off the scale.
