Worst purchase you made in the last year or so?

I've spent untold time, gas, and phone calls TRYING to buy a wii this year, does that count?

It's sort of amusing now just walking into stores and getting laughed at.

I don't make bad purchases.

I love it when theres a reason to play it with a group but otherwise it just sits there doing nothing.

Yeah. Ours was just collecting dust, but I sold it during the Christmas rush. So I guess my worst purchase was a Zune, but wait, I sold it for a profit too, so I guess it was the $400 Hopko art glass that no one cares for

edit: fixed link. Damn you https

iPhone and a Samsung Q1...

A late-night breakfast at Denny's last month which was a nightmare, especially when I could have gone to Eat-n-Park right across the street where I've eaten dozens of times and been pleased. Why did I think I should try something different?

Denny's: 30 minute wait for my food, no coffee refills during the wait, when she eventually did give me a refill it was some horrid tea/coffee blend in the pot (someone screwed it up).

probably HDDVD, but it wasn't too bad as I did get the 5 free disks and the player only cost $99 from walmart.

But it was still a waste that I'm trying to get rid of since I already have a PS3 for upconversion.

 

[Riverhound777]

while I love my Wii, I would say some of the games I have for it are a complete waste. I picked up some fishing game that blows, my sister got me a duck hunting game and the zapper which is horrible, and I picked up rabbid raving rabbits or whatever, which was fun for a bit, but I haven't played since. Guitar hero III on the other hand was a great buy since i've put probably 20 hours into it so far.

[dmw16]

wish I'd kept my S2000 instead of trading it in for a GTI.

 

[legoman666]

hard to say really. I almost buy a lot of things but back out at the last second and think about it more. Sometimes I'll continue with the buy, others I'll lose interest.

but the worst purchase? hmmmmm. I'll say the 2x1gb of PC3200 DDR ram for $140 about 2 months ago. It had a $30 rebate that I completly forgot to fill out. Now I'm selling the ram since I upgraded to S775.

A mini stereo system to use while playing my drums. I completely drowned it out and ended up just giving it away.

Hmmm. Well I'd pick that up but I already have an Xbox, and I'd have to get rid of that. Plus I just decided to go ahead and order a chip from somewhere else. Frickin a.

Otherwise, just the base system and Xecuter 2.6 is what I'd want, had I not just ordered that second chip I'd maybe try and sell the Xbox on eBay or somethin and pick up yours.

i actually think that glas stuff is pretty cool and am looking at the glass large mouth bass for my future father in law for a present in the future. he loves fishing and i think he would like that. plus i just love glass artwork like that.

I finally popped for a Hi-Fi VCR, but when I went to my local rental place, it had been shuttered then turned into a Honey Baked Ham franchise for some reason.

The ham was good, though,.

Oooh, Hi-Fi, nice! Is it a 4 head model?

A diamond necklace for a woman that dumped me. Glad it was only $130.

But of course! I like to stay cutting edge.

Went in on a snow blower for my dad for Christmas. Of course it snowed heavily only twice since then. And one of the 2 times, he couldn't get it started because it sits in the cold garage all day.

We should have bought one with an electric start or just saved our money and got him a gift card.

This was the one I bought: Text
My wife loves art glass so I thought it'd be a safe bet for a present, but I guess she's not into that tentacle stuff.

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

An airsoft gun. My fiance's best man convinced us for about a week that it'd be neat to try out. Now it's just a big fat waste of money sitting in the closet :roll:

 

[grohl]

Yeah, Woot BOC was worthless for me too.

Health insurance! Payed thousands and went to the doctor once.

 

[UNCjigga]

AMD stock, but I didn't buy it alone--invested in a fund that had it so I wasn't really hosed.
