Ever had a time when you almost bought something online, but didn't do so (tech stuff)?

Like you entered in all your payment and personal details and was set to buy it, to hit "confirm", but something held you back and didn't end up actually buying it? 

 

Had one of those experiences tonight with the iPad Air 2 50$ off at Wal-Mart. Already have a Microsoft Surface tablet, an iPad 4 retina, and a Lenovo i7 flex 3 so I'm on the fence. 

 

Not sure if it is worth it but would make a good internet browsing and note-taking machine.

Happens to me with RAM sticks all the time, since I always forget (and remember just before checkout) that I can get the same RAM cheaper and faster locally

Second hand GPUs that would be too much out of my price range that become only a "little" out of my price range. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

All the time. when saw SSD on sales or GPUs. But then I thought: w8 I have enough anyway, so y waste money.

 

and one time, when I was still using shitty android phone from way back and wanna buy a sony z5, but I held back and a few month later got a iphone 6 plus as gift. LOL even though not a ios guy but doesnt really hurt to make the transition. :P

Almost bought a 512 GB Mushkin SSD when it was on sale for $99.  Wish I kinda had as its $139 now.

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

When i tried to get a OPX Ceramic (got a special ticket from a contest on Instagram by OnePlus), but my dad said (Its pretty much the OnePlus X and while limited edition, you sure youll be able to sell it)? 

 

I was like ah..... i guess not for 500€ or if even for what it would cost (394€) :p.

Once, a long time ago, when I accidentaly broke my second R9 290, I decided it would be a good investment to go ahead and buy a 1080, since it would somewhat outperform my former dual 290s anyway.

 

But just as I was about to buy it, decided against it, and to instead waste the money on replacing the second 290 and installing a custom waterloop on both GPUs and the CPU.

I did that with the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collectors Edition. I already pre-ordered the game on Steam but I wanted the Collector's Edition so I had all my information filled out but decided not to. Then I went back a few days later to order it and they were out of stock for the PC so I had to order the PS4 edition... I don't own a PS4 though so I'm going to give the game to somebody else.

I bought a Canon CN-E lens. Submitted the order and charged my card before instantly getting buyer's remorse and anxiously awaiting until the next morning to call and cancel.

Was going to buy an ad at a 64gb sad for my netbook I got off eBay for $45, the cost of sad would have made the investment around $80. So wasn't a terrible price. I decided to play with the netbook a bit to see if the upgrade would be worth it. Yesterday I got a 120gb sad (used) from work for free.
