Have you ever bought something expensive and regretted it

I'm confused. I thought Bunni was with OTN? Why is she buying things for Anung?

3DS. Four weeks before the price drop.
Granted, I didn't actually pay more than about £30 for my OoT-bundle, but still. I've only played Ocarina (once) and some Ghost Recon since the beginning of summer.


The worst though is a Creative mp3-player with video-playback. Bought it for about £400 six years ago. Barely used it at all.

Not here, obviously.

Purely out of interest, what does a £205 wallet offer that at standard £15 wallet does not? I'm guessing here, mind. I've not bought a wallet in years- I seem to remember that a decent quality one, like the one I bought and has lasted me the last few years, was about £15.

So, I guess my question is, what does the extra £190 buy you? And what is it you do that makes you so financially secure as to be able to drop that on a product that I believe can be bought for twelve times less than what you paid for it? I'm not being sarcy here, tw- I'm genuinely curious! Because for me, £200 is several day's wages, and that's a lot ot be dropping on a very basic and usually very affordable necessitity.

Dude: that's because it hasn't even got a fúcking saddle.

Saddle? pfft. What about the mud flaps? Your back would be covered in muck when you're racing through the fields!

I guess it's the quality of the leather used to make it.

If you get really quality leather it's going to last you a couple of decades at least.

My Wallet is a National Rail card holder and it cost nothing.

Though I did get it with a £3600 train ticket so it was either free or very expensive


I tend to umm and ahh gooseberry fool loads over decisions so don't regret stuff very often. I do regret getting the 3DS before the price drop, could and should have waited but OOT just drew me in. I still only own 2 games for it

When I was about 16 I also dropped about £70 on a pair of sunglasses that didn't even really fit properly

Can't think of anything else

What train ticket costs £3600? The Polar Express?

Must be a annual ticket.

Buy one for £200 so we can laugh at you.

Not an expensive purchase but I'm having a bit of buyer's regret over the CDs I just bought. Less than £20 for 8 of them but I feel that the money could have been put to better use.

That may be the very definition of a First World Problem.

I know!

But still, it's £20 I don't actually have.

I spent £16 on a pair of books thinking they were DVDs. How do you think I feel?
