What's the dummest way youve wasted money?

[Ganondorf8 11,310]

Buying cards online from EBay or Trade Cards Online at high prices only to find out weeks or even months later that the same cards I purchased are much cheaper due to their value having dropped.

I purchased Dead Island. Biggest waste of money.

The Gameboy Advance E-Reader . Well, maybe it's a collector item now. Maybe I can sell it for over twice it costed my mom

Let my ex rob me, lol.

 

Daily dose of 'don't do what I did' for you.

Gambling. Don't do it!

I'm not good at being social, but sometimes I get lonely and want to make friends. I remember once I started trying to be friends with this cool girl from Twitter. I bought her some games (Over time, not all at once) and she appreciated it. She spent some time with me for a bit, but eventually I was dead to her. So, now I only buy gifts for close friends. Live and learn.

Bought a Kimono that I've never worn.  I have a "worth it/not worth it" type of opinion on it, it's a beautiful Kimono but it's for women.  I bought it at a convention quite a few years ago, it's an antique Kimono, the obi alone is over 40 years old now and I think the Kimono itself was 80?  It was $200 and apparently it was on the cheaper end of what the woman was selling, I only bought it because of how good I felt seeing myself wearing it but I've never had an opportunity to wear it since it's for formal occasions and I've never been invited to formal occasions... Could've bought something else with all that money since I was trying to be on a budget for that con, I still have it but I'm not sure what to do with it.

I play Prepar3D, its a flight simulator, I can guarantee there is an addon... oh yes, FSLABS A320 $140, I dont fly it much and I found out they added an .exe file that if you pirated the plane, it would launch the .exe. I bought mine legally so I didnt worry, but not sure if I could trust the company though. 

"test.exe" that appears to be the Chrome Password Dump tool from SecurityXploded. According to the technical analysis by Fidus Information Security, when the password retrieval tool is invoked, the output is encoded in base64 and transmitted to an FSLabs-controlled server over (an ostensibly unencrypted) HTTP connection. This routine is only run when a serial is detected as being counterfeit"

Buying a ps3,and ended up selling it a year later -.-;

This... >·<

I have bought all consoles I've ever owned, at least twice... 

Two PS3s, PS4s, Xbox 360s, Xbox ones, 3 3DSs, 2 PSPs, and like 5 DSs...  

I buy them, get buyer's remorse, sell them (usually a couple months later), then regret that and buy them again...

Finicky and indecisive, that's me  

That's probably where a lot of my money went to... 

[Quadropus 171]

I bought a game console, sold it, bought it again, sold it, bought it again, sold it.

Been there, done that. So many times when I was a newb on Steam.

Ironically been on the other side of it too, being given stuff is nice but discovering your friendship's based on you always gaming with her sours the fun of the games

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I bought several DLCs for some video games, and I never used those DLCs. The DLCs were on sale, that's why I bought them, but it was still a waste of money.

[Splashee 28,564]

I have bought things without looking for an alternate price, about 2 or 3 times in the past, and then later, about a minute from the transaction been very mad. I think that qualifies as being dumb.

Oh god....it would me take all night to type out this one.....

I bet $50 on a horse called Fortnite to win and he didn't.

Buying a few boxes of Pop-Tarts, entered that time where I didn't eat them anymore

I once spent nearly 200 euros on a cuckoo clock when I was in Bavaria. I got bored of the novelty of it a week after I returned home, and it now lives somewhere in the attic in my parents' house.

One word, cigarettes. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

When I got paid and immediately spent it on awesome vinyl records. I’m more careful with my money now.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

In casinos. The only real way to win at gambling is to stop.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,297]

Most recently and is debatable, buying Star Wars:  Jedi Survivor when my gaming PC may not run it due to technical problems and lack of requirements  

[Pandora 38,047]

Games with in game purchases; this was always impulse based when depression hit 

 

(just like now with OC’s but art gives me comfort(

I made a bunch of money on Steam from selling two PUBG skirts way back in the day (I have NO IDEA why they were selling for so much but w/e).

Most of it went to other things, but the last like $100 or so I put into CK2 DLCs.
Played that game for a grand total of 16 minutes. Haven't touched it since. <.<

[TBD 17,254]

Gacha games. Probably had spend at least $200+ on it. I have a in-game gambling habit- god who knows what will happen if I ever stepped in an actual casino if it weren’t for my family preventing me from it. But I stopped thankfully.

I bought a $2300 plane ticket to Japan that I could not, and cannot use. Non-refundable.
