Your latest buyer's remorse?

[7412]

Purchased a full price Razer Blade Stealth with MX150 3 months ago.

It's now on sale for $500 less. And a refreshed itteration with a GTX 1650 just got announced.

It hurts. It hurts bad.

 

What about you?

Buying any new phone that drops like $200 after a month

This handheld printer.

Mostly because it stopped working.

Though I returned it, so the remorse was brief.

My Fury X that I bought and used for approximately a month before going back to my RX 580 because it can output 2160p at 60Hz via HDMI.

I didn't realize how much I'd use it for what it was worth.

Um. Hmmmmm. Now this one is hard, gotta think on it a bit.

 

Well, I bought some chocolate. And it was gone in 5 minutes My regret is that I didn't buy more of it

My new PC.

I like it and all....

But I realize that I honestly didn't truly need it. My old i7 875k was still more than good enough for what I do on my PC these days.... Good thing I didn't buy an expensive GPU to go with it too so I'm really only down $1k....

I bought a MSI Vega 56 (blower style) a few months ago without checking the dba levels in the reviews. It's unbelievably loud!

 

I upgraded all my system fans and tried messing with the voltages but it's still too loud. By that point I was passed the return date so I'm stuck with it - oops!

I bought an Founders Edition RTX 2080 a year ago for £750 (was the same price everywhere, was RRP and there were no other retail boards around).

 

If only I'd waited 6-9 months - there were £650 models with zero-RPM modes and two free games!

 

I love the card and I wouldn't quite call it regret. I should have just been more patient

2008 Apple xServe ... Way to loud and eats power like its sugar. 

 

Decided to get a 2012 Mac Mini to use as a server, sure going to have to use external drives but better than the xServe.

I bought an Orange tube amp and cabinet setup that cost as much as a used Honda Civic. 

 

Could have totes gotten an Ampeg setup for half the price with similar enough performance.

 Mac Mini server stacks were the funnest thing back in 2012. Honestly they're still pretty fun and I love my little i5 box.

Bought a couple of WD Gold drives off of Amazon (3rd party).  They ended up being OEM drives and had bad sectors.  Never did get my money back.  Seller ghosted me and it was after their return window for Amazon.

 

Never again.

I bought some under $10 stuff that wasn't what I wanted, but didn't bother returning it and remorse is a strong word, that I don't think applies here. For anything over $50 that I can remember buying I never felt remorse, but I do research before buying and if I spend over $50 I will wait at least several months between "I want that" and "I'll buy this". Doing it like this, I more likely end up with stuff I actually need and not regretting buying anything since forever proves my philosophy right, I think.

 

On that note, I'm contemplating buying hi-fi equipment since 2009, which was pretty much a decade ago. But my budget for that is like $10 maybe $20 thousand dollars, so I'm not in any rush to go and then buy the wrong thing.

Putting an i7 9700k instead of a ryzen 7 3700x in my workstation... at least until I remembered that I mostly work on massive photoshop files and anything over 6 cores doesn't help much.  I had the video comparing the benchmarks running the background while I worked this morning, and was like wtf did I do for most of the day.  Then I got home and compared the single core benchmarks and was a little relieved.  I need to remember that the game benchmarks are generally more applicable than the workstation benchmarks for PS.

Do always having problem with deciding what product to buy and therefore spending way too much time on decoding it it counts as buyers remorse?
