| 1351789 | 2013-08-22 02:51:00 | Have this occured to you before? Maybe you bought something that sounded nice at the time, over time it sunk in and you did the same old stuff before and thought maybe you could have not got it or got a lesser model? Nowadays I am finding myself using equipment for 5+ years .... | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1351790 | 2013-08-22 03:22:00 | I always over-buy. I end up with extra laptops and bluray players and all sorts. Better than under-buying, so, eh :P | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1351791 | 2013-08-22 04:46:00 | I prefer to get more features than I need unless the price is dramatically increased or I lose features I need. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1351793 | 2013-08-22 05:40:00 | I used to do that with used laptops 10yrs ago, buy then sell it and update to a newer used item. But now partially computers are so much faster for daily stuff. I cannot see myself getting a tablet when my laptop still works :) I've got a notepad and written items up that I regretted. And to somehow fix that maybe I want to delay other stuff to offset the guilt factor. I used to load up a Pentium 100MHz laptop with all sort of utilities and then want something faster and back in the days RAM was expensive. Norton Systemworks, PGP Encryption, running Office 2000 with 16 or 32MB of RAM and then it was DVD when systems were unpowered and firms were releasing DVD acceleration cards... Expensive 2x CDR recorders (LPT), $900 DVD players for the TV and my larger regret $999 Sony MD Micro system and I found that I could not buy MD music albums :lol: the thing still works now, but it no longer records (does play), could have gotten a Yamaha Amp with 2 or so speakers or just used my laptop, I were using Winamp Mp3 already at the time .... I also find that after having built my own PC and taken apart a laptop, it loses the excitement when I look at new stuff .... |

| 1351795 | 2013-08-22 11:27:00 | I have bought a lot of gadgets that I thought would be useful or fun. Often I find that the novelty wears off and the gadget ends up in storage. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1351796 | 2013-08-22 19:32:00 | I used to buy the latest high end GPU every 2 years.....but not this time. Still fairly high end but the price...nah....I can settle for decent instead now. Other electronic items? No, don't and haven't ever bought into the hype about it all. We still do not have any kind of stereo, no smartphones and no tablets. TV is LCD but not particularly special and was bought mainly cause the old CRT died. |

| 1351797 | 2013-08-23 21:03:00 | No built all the computers from scratch, apart from the netbook, don't have a tablet anymore cat killed it. Only got a LCD TV this year because CRT died. If I wanted something I would save up and buy it, don't do credit either |
