Ever regretted buying something? Be honest...

Way too many purchase regrets to remember them all

I couldn't begin to guess how many times I've done that. I have a winch and windshield for my last ATV which never have been used. I bought the windshield in 2000 or 2001.
There are so many projects I've planned but never found the time or know-how to do; I'm reminded every time I clean my shed.

Set of shocks and a dashboard for a truck that we then sold due to excessive rust.
Sold the shocks for 1/2 what we paid, got way more back for the dashboard than I paid for it (paid $20ish at a junkyard, sold it for $70 after having it on CL for over a year.

Hydraulic lift table from harbor freight. It works great.
I thought I would have more uses for it; but I don’t.

My '98 Ford crown vic.
Worst piece of junk created by man.
$2000 to replace a "plastic" intake manifold that melted because it was mounted next to the hot alternator.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE ALL MOUNTED, FORD!
Chevrolet's no better.
The Mrs. and I drive ONLY imported cars now.
Until America learns to build cars again.
It ain't looking real good for the future, either.

Nope not a thing but if you ask my wife you'll get an ear full.

I’m with Roy on that! Laugh of the Day! :laughing:

Why waste time with regretting things you bought that you are keeping but could sell or even give away?

If it’s costing you money to keep it then get rid of it. If it’s tying up space that you could use better then sell it or give it away. Cut it up into little pieces and throw it away if that’s what it takes. :laughing:

I don’t regret anything I’ve bought but I do regret selling some things I wish I had back.

A set of crows feet, I’ve probably had them for 30 years and used them once, and that was on someone else’s vehicle. I also have a power washer gun that is long and hooked on the end for cleaning out gutters, never have used it. I have a similar device on a leaf blower I use all the time.

I regret buying that first wife. Nothing but grief and heartache. Chassis was tight at first then slowly began to loosen and spread (in more ways than one) Was a total money-pit too. The trade-in was well worth it though.

Many times. The worst was the "mobile home" I bought about 20 years ago. The wife didn't want to repeat the last house, which I built. Her major objection was that I didn't put the master bedroom closet doors in until selling time. The trailer was built with the cheapest parts available and I failed to make the upgrades I should have. I had a 2 page list of the shortcomings. I could have built from scratch for what it cost.

Most recent one:

Clamp on pallet forks. Gave them to my neighbor after buying an SSQA set. Everyone was right. The clamp ons are garbage.
