Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Bought And Regret Buying To This Day? (Closed)

As most gamers will tell you, one of the most anticipated games of 2020 was Cyberpunk 2077... Which I unfortunately bought it on a last generation system, the PlayStation 4.

I luckily got my refund for this one, but I felt burned by that purchase. Just look at some of the early videos for Cyberpunk, if you are unfamiliar, and you'll know what kind of state the game was in.

Choubox kickstarter automatic litter boxes. X2

Lasted less than 6 months and broke almost daily.

Bachelor's degree for a career i hated in a field I never wanted but it was the "safe" choice. I don't regret going to technical school for my automotive technology certification.

Instapot. Everything you can do in it is easier to do by not using it. Instapot leaves more to clean up. Air Fryer is awesome for many things like fritters, any style potato, cut up puff pastry toss it n then toss it in cinnamon sugar. But I digress. Instapot, what a waste

Many, many years of buying way to much alcohol. Got smart 22 years ago and quit. Much healthier and richer.

Regret not selling. Was in a sneaker shop in London UK 20 years ago. The owner (I guess) offer 200 pound (it's about the same as dollar) for my shoes of my feet.

Bought 2 separate 150cc chinese honda clone scooters, one used, one new, the used one had a cracked block when i bought it but had been fixed enough to run for a little while, until it didn't. The new one ran great for about 8 months before, guess what, a cracked block, both had less than 500 miles.

Should've bought a Honda.

The NES and TV Lego set. I had a few Avengers Lego sets as a kid (the first Avengers movie…I suddenly feel old), and I had really enjoyed building them. Well, I got some money as an adult and decided to splurge on an "adult" Lego set (plus it looked really cool on YouTube). I spent hundreds of dollars, and I actually built the things…and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed doing it TOO much, and now I have a bookcase overflowing with Grogu, Optimus Prime, Captain Rex's helmet, Bowser, and a whole bunch of smaller sets on display too. The regret? It’s. So. Freaking. EXPENSIVE! I tell myself that I have nowhere to put them, they break easily, I have no income, that I will stop the insanity and not buy anymore. However, I literally signed up to be a VIP so that I would have early access to buy the PAC-MAN Arcade Machine set. The box is now sitting there, mocking me and my poor impulse control. I can’t build it right now, as I’m currently too busy, but I want to so badly. I also really want the Harry Potter Patronious set that I saw advertised in the catalog, and the Up house I keep seeing on TikTok, and there’s supposed to be a Hocus Pocus set coming too!

i think my main regurt is buying a cheap phone case because it looked nice

When my mom passed away, I inherited a little bit of money. My minivan (200k+ miles, owned for 13 years) died shortly after, so I bought a 2016 Volvo XC60 - new. It was an extravagance to me, but I wanted a reliable car that I felt safe driving my family around in, and Volvo had a stellar reputation for reliability and safety. It seemed like a good investment because based on Volvo's history, I figured I could get about 20 years/250k miles from the car, if I maintained it well. Nope. The engines are NOW known for failing. Mine failed. I couldn't afford a new car, so I had to replace the engine, even though the original only had about 123k miles on it. I wrote to Volvo asking them to chip in for the cost, and they basically told me to go pound sand. I will NEVER buy another Volvo - they've gone from great cars to total ripoff.

Graduate degrees. I spent most of my 20s getting them, was broke all the time, and never used the degrees anyway. I wasted some good years of my life watching my friends move on into normal adulthood while I was left behind.
Higher education is a racket.

It's not specific thing...but I wish I had not bought so many gadgets for my computer over the years. I wanted the latest and greatest version of what ever and had to buy all these hard drives that cost a fortune at the time ...$1K for a 500 MB hard drive, back in the 90's. If I had invested all that money I could have had more money to retire on. I have taken boxes and boxes over the years to the recycle center... not even Goodwill wanted the items.... they went out of use that fast.!

Windows 11 I don't have it but from what I am reading I am glad I did not download it to my computer.

I’ve bought a good couple games I really wish I hadn’t.

A new mattress from JC Penny. Horrible. So uncomfortable. I wanted to return it the first week, but the fees for re-stocking and return delivery amounted to over a 1/3 of what I paid for the darn thing.

A fish. It died before I got in my car.

Windows10

MY TV. It just didn't work, and I threw it away. It was actually taking up a lot of space and imma like "I'm gonna have to throw this thing away," and -I finally did!
But I do regret buying it in the first place, because the person who sold it to me actually scammed me by saying it was brand new.

I was willing to buy a white eye pencil. So when I was looking for it online, I came across a beige version of the same and bought it. Couldn't use it even for a day, looks horrible on me when applied (Indian dusky skin tone). Needless to say, I regret buying it as it was pretty expensive.
