What do you regret buying the most?

My first and only self build PC (Vista). Spent a small fortune on it, spent too long trying to get Vista to play ball and subsequently flogged all the parts 6 months down the line. The biggest waste of money on the rig was the Xfi Elite Pro.
 
Has to be the 120gb OCZ ssd that I bought in mid september, that died within 3 weeks (experienced a write error in windows, then decided to completely die upon rebooting), which, I suppose I could have had replaced, but really couldn't be bothered with yet another reinstallation of windows, and for a while longer I'll just stick with more reliable mechanical drives.
 
Older phone.

150 euros, only for it to break after a months use. Contacting the seller took ages, which expired my 45 days of protection. Contacted ebay on the 46th day! I always do the right purchase, but this wasn't too good.

Can't think of many more, even though there prob were more (although not as expensive)
 
Projumps (bocks), google it if you don't know

After 20 hours of use I realised how tough it is, sure you can run twice as fast, do really neat tricks, but trying to learn to do all that is difficult. Didn't help that I was involved in a motor bike accident and now get a pain in my left knee when I use them.

Will probably sell them soon.
 
A brand Alfa 147 in some ways, although I justified it by giving up smoking and getting paid a car allowance a car of a 1/3 of the cost would have sufficed, but that was a long time ago.

More recently I suppose a projector, 5.1 surround and 3d blu ray player, been months since Ive been in that room.
 
The AAT level 1 online course I paid for. Absolute waste of money. The course content was well out of date, and plain wrong in a lot of places.

Add to that the AAT organisation (that you HAVE to be a member of if you're studying for the exams) tried to stiff me for a renewed membership early - because 'their system only bills at the start of the month'. Sorry AAT, you' deal with financial stuff and you can't get a system that bills correctly on the renewal date?! **** off.

£800 + wasted.
 
Most things I buy. Next year is going to have to be different.
I may have to have a selling clearout.
 
One of these Chinese 7" Tablets running crapdriod 4.0 (hugs ipad retina)

The thing worked ok but the battery lasted about 1.5 hours unplugged and even drained in about 4 hours when not in use.

They changed the listing on amazon every few weeks so it never builds up a raft of negative comments.

40 years old and still expecting to get what I pay for.... what a mug.
