What's the worst purchase you've ever made?

Question

I bought something off ebay and I was moving at the same time I told the guy I would get my mail from him but he sent it to me and my name wasn't up yet so it got sent back to the sender and I gifted him 70 bucks. I got a really good review though on ebay which I never use so definitely worth it. I was more upset about not getting what I wanted than losing the money but both hurt. It was a bunch of photo cards and stuff from a girl group I like, it was already more than double the price than in korea because you can't get them anywhere else and then this happened :(

What's the worst purchase you've ever made?

There were 1 or 2 other ones that I regretted but overall I'm very good at not spending money unless I want something and I usually also find a decent price, although I'm not that fixated on finding the best price. I look around a bit and once I find a price that looks decent I just buy it.

You save way more money not spending it on stuff you don't really want than buying at the best price all the time.

I've had some real doozyies 🤦🙈😂

Me and my mom recently bought a gold shaped bar that was about the size of a huge gold bar, it was supposed to have a fun stone or even gold inside, but what came out was a stone a little smaller than an ice cube 😡 for 10 bucks! 😡

I was expecting something even a little bigger than that 🙄

Another one that comes to mind.

All your favorite songs by the original artists. Sounds great right?

Nope 😡 all new recordings by the original artists, all crappy recordings that sound worse than the original 😡

I got strung by that one a couple of times now I know better

Maybe not the "worst" but definitely one I regret lol
Was at the store one Christmas season with my girls buying gifts and saw them at this bin laughing and cackling like little kids even though they were both over 18 Att , so when they walked away went over and it was a bit of slippers, Santa shoe slippers and elf shoe slippers with bells on them 🙄🙄 didn't think, just got em each a pair, but by Christmas morning, 20 minutes after they got em, and all's I kept hearing was bells every time they moved out walked, I was chasing em with scissors trying to cut the bells off 🤣🤣 and they STILL have em years later 🙄🙄

For an item itself, that would be a splitting maul from Lowe’s. I don’t remember the brand, but on the first week of using it, the fiberglass haft snapped by the head :/

For circumstances resulting from it, a Coca Cola on a date. Ended up getting violently sick almost immediately.

Oh man. I have made bad choices in my life but the worst? I am not too sure. I could have put it out of my mind it was so bad. Lol i made good choices too the best one i remember the most was a computer game i bought for $3. No one wanted it and it was on a clearance table. I took the chance and found it to be one of the best games i ever bought. It gave me hrs of fun. My brother bought a game that cost at least $45 and he finished it in 30 mins. Couldn't do anything else with the game. Lol that sucked.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Jeep Grand Cheeroke, Land Rover Disco 3. I think Jeep and Land Rover are worst off-road cars. The best is Nissan, I have Nissan Patrol Y61, my dad gived it to me on my 18th Christmas, I have it today, it is very upraded - best car I ever have. My another bad purchase was my first tires. Non original BFGoodrich MT 33 inch. My next tires was BFGoodrich MT 35 inch, it was good, in this Christmas I got Maxxis Trepador 42 inch, and it is even better for hard terrain. Always buy original things.

Nine years ago I bought a brand new Mazda RX-8. Beautiful car inside & out & the engine was so underpowered for the car it sucked & I got rid of the car within three weeks.

My house. Looked great, passed inspections with flying colors. In the end, after only 3 years, it's falling apart and needs $50k+ of work to be sellable, so I'm so far underwater that I'm doomed to drown eventually. For now, I just stay in it and try to keep applying band-aids and urgent care as best I can on a limited budget.

Years ago I bought a hand painted replica of the bottle from "I Dream of Jeannie" for around $330. I was disappointed with it as soon as it arrived. After eight or so years I threw it away. Now, I wish I had at least donated it to a charity auction or something.

I bought a brand new motorbike and there was a recall on it because of a safety issue, and they was either going to do nothing to it or strip it down to nothing and rebuild it which would have resulted in it being off the road for months, so i traded it back in after five months. It cost me a fortune

When arriving in London for my holiday trip, I went to a grocery store for a first meal to buy. I saw a package of mashed potatoes, not thinking much and taking it for fried potatoes, which I realized when sitting down in my room and finally opening it.

Wemo devices (made by Belkin) for remotely controlling electric switches and lights. Their latest app upgrade broke my entire system, and they say they cannot do anything about it, so I have a few hundred dollars worth of unusable electronics that they refuse to refund.
