Overpriced stuff you have bought?

IDK If this is relevant but i am a huge book nerd and went to the store bought game of thrones hardcover collection of all books (which have been published till now) for 4000rs and now at amazon i am seeing the same damn package at rs2500 it really pissed me off.

 

I spent over 3 grand building a gaming computer when I originally had planned to only spend 1200-1500 ... so that was dumb of me.

 

I built a computer for $1100 and haven't turned it on in 6 months hahahaha

 

Probably for me it was buying a $500 guitar multi-effects processor when I was looking to buy one around $250. I wasn't able to get the full use out of it until I bought a set of multimedia monitors.

 

I bought a $3000 washer and dryer set that my mother ultimately destroyed. That was awful.

 

$150 on Kyrie Irving sneakers. Have never worn them, I just look at them

 

I honestly can't stand anybody that collects sneakers. Records i can understand, because you can listen to them (though i may have a bias) but shoes you never wear, just dones't, and will never make sense to me.

Uni books are another big one

But i use them as speaker stands nowdays, so at least there useful now!

 

If you just bought them, return them.

I've noticed this trend a lot: People feel bad about returning things if the product isn't broken.

You can still return something because it doesn't fit, isn't comfortable, or simply isn't to your liking. So return the trainers and buy some new ones, instead of letting that 50 quid go to waste.

The most recent case of over-spending by me: I set a budget of around $70 to spend on new computer speakers. Ended up spending over $1500 in total on a stereo system (not all at once, but in several purchases - speakers, amplifier, cables, subwoofer, turntable, etc)

I don't regret it one bit though. It was one of those times where I felt like I spent way too much on something - but the amount of enjoyment it's given me since then has already been worth the money, and the amount I'll get out of it over the years to come will well exceed what I paid for it. It was a pleasant surprise, because that's a lot of money to me. Had I regretted my purchases, I'd have certainly returned it all.

 

This is my first pair of sneakers I've done it w. I made alot of money and decided why not. I would wear them but idk a good time/place. Plus Kyrie Irving is kinda a snake, he was my favorite player. Still like him, but kinda a bitch they way he left Cleveland and made fun of lebron. So I think if I wore his shoes people might recognize that and light my ass up for it. But then again it's 150$ so what can they say

 

I JUST FOUND OUT that he switched his # from #2 to #11 now on the celtics. The bottom of his shoes said #2, I'm definitely returning now. Why does he have to mess w me like thayou lmfaooo

 

I'm high school when my friends would go camping drunk we would buy tents and sleeping bags and coolers from walmart and just return them at the end. This happened like 10-15 times, best thing ever

 

I spend too much on weed. It should be cheaper.

 

I needed a new phone and completely impulse bought the galaxy s8. 750 bones I'll never get back but I'm actually sort of glad I did it. I'm used to having nothing but shitty flip phones and whatnot so a smartphone like this has really simplified a lot for me. I don't even use my laptop or camera anymore cause the s8 just does everything better.

 

No man's sky...

 

I once bought up to 20 or 22 metal CDs and costed me 300$ all together. I did it to have them part of my CD collection. No regrets after all. I listen to most of them on Spotify instead of listening to CDs.

 

Wanted to spend 200€ on a helmet, ended up paying 500€.
Way too overpriced.
Don´t regret it though.

 

Worth every cent!
