| I've made many purchases, but most of them I never regretted. With one exception. A full year Runescape membership after a decade of playing free, literally the account where my username started at. Got permabanned due to a false-positive bot detection like a week later. I didn't chargeback in the hopes that my appeal would go through eventually. It never went through, my money is gone, and longtime player Daviljoe193 on Runescape is also gone. But I've already finished mourning it years ago, so it only hurts a little now. EDIT: $100 USD. I gave Jagex $100, just to have the Brisith kill my 2009-era childhood Runescape account. The loss of money was the least hurtful part of that. |

| $140 on an Altina 1/8th scale figure w bonus face plate. It lacks the bonus face plate since my mom threw it out as I was at work since my bro had no idea what it was when it was delivered.  Besides that, it was a reminder of how Falcom at the time gave 0 care in the western fanbase when it took 2-3 years to get any new game. I also regret it because better figure was made with much more fanservice and a bigger scale that I never got.  In the end though I stopped collecting figures since 1. Prices are terrible (due to tariffs, scalping, and shipping) 2. I am out of display space in my room. |

| @Zakatsuki_ The trails series is great though I think daybreak 1 and 2 are the weakest in the series. I hope kai can improve my thoughts on the arc. That aside, trails is my fav game series. |

| @XMGA030 The playstation 3 had some incredible library in its gen though many are ported to modern consoles still Naruto Storm 3 Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 Disgaea d2 Disgaea 4 Disgaea 3 Valkyria Chronicles 1 Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 Tales of Graces f J All Stars Nep mk 2 Nep Victory Ni no Kuni Dangeki bunko fiting climax Blazblue games GG Xrd Sign |

| To be honest I have spent stupid amounts of money on rare games and Anime merchandise. Though I never regretted it because I already knew what I was getting into. I did shell out $500 once for a rare video game figure, that I probably could have done without. I was such a fan of the game though that I couldn't help myself. |

| My dad got me to put 2000 bucks into BTC right before it skyrocketed (I was very young and uninformed at the time and he sounded convincing). Would have been a good purchase, if the platform he referred me to was actually legit. I never got any of that money back and my dad was always a dumbass. A while after I made like 9 grand off the shiba coin way back when from a paltry 800 invested, but its a far cry from what would have been millions of dollars if I actually invested it in the right platform. Anyways, I never invested in cryptocurrency again after my 9k profit, and I think cryptobros are lame asf nowadays. |
| Well it wasn't really the biggest amount that I spent ever, but I regret buying this Junko Enoshima figure. (This isn't my actual figure, just an example) Firstly I don't think it's very nice looking, the hair & skin colour I have a big problem with. Also my one is missing some paint detail, that white DNA strand-type design on her hip was never painted on my figure. It took me way too long to realize, but I knew something wasn't right with it. It came new and sealed in box, so I didn't notice it at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. I paid maybe about £90 for it and I do regret it. |

| My house. Haha. Make sure your inspector does their job, guys. Luckily, if I fix the mistakes, I'll be able to still turn it around and sell it, but it has been a pain. |
| 250k+ like comment above, being a houseowner and having to do renovations etc is very tiring and stressful |
Nothing amazing ever happens here. Everything is ordinary. ♫ This staircase, it leads only To some old pictures of you Through an a-thousand-mile-long tube ♫ |
| I once bought jumping stilts for ~250 €$ but only used them a few times because they felt too damned uncomfortable. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| Kyo Kara Maoh BD box sets with each costing almost 30k Yen, my worst purchase ever because I hate the series now |
| Can't think of one. Only have I ever regretted getting cheap shit as those have ALWAYS broken |

| @Shishio-kun It was from one of my favorite games of all time, Illbleed on the Dreamcast. It was given out to a first set number of players who took a screenshot of the endgame screen that they would then receive in the mail. It was supposed to be a full line of figures from the game, sadly only one character was ever produced in very short supply. As the game didn't sell very well.  |

| @Retro8bit Cool! A little piece of your favorite game's history. Hopefully their screenshots didn't come out like this!! https://youtu.be/DC1zkSmjBqU?si=ycXcfGmjLYfwfyw3&t=180 |
| I can only think of one, buying tinder gold tier... The regret is almost immediate |

| @XMGA030 I don't live in America, 30k yen is a lot when converted to my local currency; for comparison my first job paid me ~113 usd per month. Wolfram tries to rape Yuuri in vol. 2 of the LN, that scene was changed in the anime to only show him sleeping naked in Yuuri's bed. The LN has been in hiatus since 2010 so there's no definitive ending yet but the author and editor are huge Wolfram simps and the reason I hate the series is because it romanticizes the abusive relationship between Yuuri and Wolfram. |
| In the past (equal to $30,000), a brand-new 2006 Subaru WRX—it was a shitty car; the car had poor handling at high speed and had too much understeer when flying in corners. And the stock turbo was too fucking weak. |
| I guess some shoes I bought that didn't fit well. They're still sitting in the box, unworn, after a couple years. Why I didn't just go back and return them is a mystery. |
