Most useless thing you've bought

[Joey D]

What has been the most useless thing you've ever bought?

Mine has to be a Rolex watch, so much money for a damn way to keep time. Oh well its bling bling I guess.

So whats yours....

 

[Darin]

A $50 PS2 game that I didn't like....

 

[Joey D]

Nothing compared to a 3,000 dollar watch

 

[Jay]

a nitro RC car, used it a couple times. got bored of it quick
paid $1000 AU

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I wouldn't even buy a $3000 watch.

Probably some stuff that I only used once and never touched again.

- trampoline
- pool table
- game cube
- bicycle
- skateboard
- new Metallica CD

The list goes on and on.

How much you want fo it, no really.
Mine would have to be a silver PS2. I took it back and got a black normal one for a substantial saving.

 

[Jay]

at the moment i dont want to sell it because i will reuse it soon (after i buy fuel and batterys). i most likely will get bored of it again though.

its a real good one (still like brand new), 4WD, 2 speed gearbox, disc brakes, 2.5cc engine (i had a 3.5cc to replace it but i need to change the clutch assembly so i couldnt be bothered)
$1000 was for the whole kit, which included a good controller, batterys, glowplug battery, good fuel ,spare glowplugs, tools etc
if i was to sell it i would want roughly $500

 

[vat_man]

A Taylor Made Supersteel 8.5 degree driver (golf club). I could never hit that frikkin' thing. I of course replaced it with a Taylor Made Titanium 9.5 degree driver which I also can't hit - so the old Taylor Made Burner driver which I've had for five years stays in the bag. So much for golf technology...

 

[JoniK]

Some game I played for 30 minutes and then put on the shelf for good.

 

[Jugend]

I recently bougt an Xbox w PGR2 and sold it after a week. Didn't like the game at all, neither the Xbox.

Some talk has been about therapy. I have spent about 5k $ on therapy and that's one of my best investments. 👍

 

[Mike Rotch]

I wish I could add something to this list. But I'm a miser of the highest order, so I really have never bought anything that I hadnt poured a lot of thought into.

Which is actually a bad thing.

*Edit: Actually my worst purchase would be a book from the UK which "got lost in the mail" (aka was never sent)

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I've bought some books that I never read. A tripod for my camera, but of such poor quality that it won't keep the camera still properly. Gym equipment was a bit of a waste of money too.

I've actually just sold a bunch of stuff on eBay. Not for a great deal of money, but I want the cupboard space back. Time was before that I would just put the unwanted stuff away and forget about it, now I'm trying to sell it.

Same here..

 

[emad]

$1500 Movado...well, it was a gift. Either way, I can't wear it anywhere
$100 headphones because I got robbed a week after I bought them
Metal Gear: Sons of Liberty (only because I beat it 5 times using a friend's copy prior to purchasing it)
$40 on a yo-yo when they were "the thing to have"

 

[BMW POWER]

mine would have to be a Ford Galaxy, biggest piece of crap ever created. i bought it brand new and within a month all the electric windows (except front passenger) had failed, climate control only worked when it wanted to and the airbags had a nasty habit of just going off when driving along. put me off fords for life which is strange considering my wifes old Focus never had a problem and i use to drive the s**t out of it.

 

[Tercel_driver]

A Philips TV.

Bought it for my PS2.

Crapped on me by the sixth month.

The borders' color are messed up.

 

[-Fred-]

I can't think of anything really big and worthy, but I did buy AutoModellista the week it came out. 69,99$, and I beat it in a day and a half.

 

[xAkirax2004]

I did buy Tekken tag tournament. It was $40.00 at the time. Played it once. Never played it again.

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

$4,000 worth of repairs for an act of stupidity

 

[miata13B]

I bought a concrete Barrier at 45 mph and a nice T-bone

 

[Attila_Da_Hun]

$70 black light

same here.. 3 grand in this case, $1500 for my car and $1500 for his, to hush it up with the insurance (shh....)

But the stupidest investment I have ever seen someone make is my friend, who bought a 1982 Camaro for $1100. He then proceeded to dump $18,000 into it for repairs (paint, tranny twice, power steering, brakes, head gasket, electrical work at least 6 times, and I have no idea what else), only to find it had a cracked framerail. Ended up selling it after only 8 months for $600. Talk about a huge loss.

 

[toyomatt84]

A pair of Oakley's. I bought them to follow a trend. (Snowboarding goggles)

They fit like crap and never keep moisture out, so they're always fogged. Returned them in a week, got my 180 bux back, then bought some SPY's for 60 and haven't had problems since.

mine was $4,000 just for my car no one else was involved but me and a curb...that 4K included free towing, no markup on the OEM parts and no labor and they did my timing belt free too so basically I payed only wholesale price on the parts thanks to my neighbor who is also my mechanic.

 

[Pupik]

Half my college textbooks.

Barely read them then, worth nothing after class was over, and now I read them even less than that.
