Was dating a girl for a couple of weeks when Valentines Roles around...I go over to her house for dinner and she hugs me very gratefullly. In her living room is a huge-A vase with a huge-A boquet of a dozen roses. Thinking it's from me the girl was really happy.. Only problem, I was picking up her flowers later on that evening. Bought Valentines Roses for a girl who already had some. Few weeks later she never calls, sees or talks to me again.

At a bus station in Knoxville, TN I bought a quarter that turned out to be dandelions or some sh!t. I could have used that sh!t on a three day bus ride.

I'm sorry it's late but still, you paid money for money??? 😕

Right, apparently someone needs to be gang-raped into the current century.

[xSauronx]

external iomega zip drive for $100 and media that was $12 a piece for 3 or 4 disks; internal is nice....external is painfully slow

 

[marleymarl]

E Stamp

anything that has a rebate...I always forget to send em in..

 

[dman]

EASports Baseball 1999 and 2000. 1999 was bugridden piece of crap. Foolish me bought 2000 anway... was also buggy (much less so) but now had slightly better graphics. So I paid $30 for the 'patch' to 1999.

That was the least EA Sports Game I bought.

ZipDrive (works fine, but, just was a poor investment).

$800 2x Speed CD Burner when they first came out. Back then the media was $10/pop too. Fortunately it lasted long enough for the media prices to comedown to $1/pop and the drives to $1-200.

not mine:

100 DISC CD Changer Wife bought for me. I really wanted it. But, never ended up using it because DVD/MP3's took off about the same time. Still have it / still works.

Nintendo 64. Also a gift. Also wanted it. Got Zelda and M64 for it, but, could really get into those games as 3d games. And the graphics weren't that impressive. I used it more than the cd changer though. Haven't bought a console since.

 

[Fritzo]

I bought a 3Dfx Voodoo Rush for $200.

Worst. Video. Card. Evar. Still angry over that POS.

 

[Rogue]

Ford Contour.

 

[Mr N8]

1995 Oldsmobile Aurora

Its a great car, when its running right. When its not running right, its expensive, if you can find the parts you need.

 

[EngenZerO]

spent around 1200 on a nitro rc car... worst mistake evar...

 

[moshquerade]

i bought a business, and barely got out of it at a break even, but i learned a lesson.

This also has thrown me off, but after further thought, my guess is that a "quarter" is something drug related? I must be naive as well, but atleast I don't have to worry about getting ripped off with this!

[neonerd]

A quarter ounce of "Mary Jane." Jeez, do you need a better hint?

My worst purchase is probably my PlayStation2. Bought it when it first came out and got the network adapter. I currently have one PS2 game that I occasionally play (GTA:SA) and played a total of 2 online PS2 games.

Jeez, not everyone likes to dabble in illegal substances :disgust:. I've hardly even seen marijuana, let alone know the terms for it. If something has 30 different names, it's gotta be illegal.

About 5yrs ago, I bought a diamond and emerald ring off one of the teevee networks...

it arrived and was tiny, the emerald was cloudy and the diamonds were greyish.

I did not pay a lot.. but have learned never to buy jewelry that I cannot see first.

[Intelman34]

My most recent build... tried to make the cheapest A64 system possible... ended up with an Asus K8V motherboard. So buggy that when I try to go to the device manager the PC restarts, when I try to install the onboard sound driver it restarts, and has a system error everytime I restart it.

I've never touched or seen it either, go figure.
