The dumbest purchase you ever made

[shiftpro]

I assume you swim in maple syrup when it's warm out?

You're wrong Jake, we swim in beer when it's warm out.
We do in fact always have a barrel of maple syrup close by (in case we run outta beer).

You guys are friggin hilarious.

Hey maybe it’s just me
But I thought them arcades were worth good money?
Why is yours any different there’s like a traveling troupe of nerds that collect those things.
Little update and proper advertising you could sell that for what you got into It at least.
But yeah... I have all the arcade games on my consoles /
Cell phone

Engagement ring.

I was actually smart with that purchase. I bought her a $300 ring from Wal-Mart. Lol and she loved it. Said we needed to get insurance for it. Asked how much I paid for it? I said, do you like it? She said yes! I love it! I told her it didn't matter then.

When she left a few months later. She told me she's gonna keep the ring. I told her it's Her's to keep. Then she called me later pissed off that the pawn shop only gave her $60 for it.


My worst purchase was a 2012 Yamaha waverunner brand new for $13,000. It was a great little boat. Yamaha waverunner is the best if you are looking for one hands down. I only put 20 hours on it in 4 years. I just never used it as much as I thought I would. So I sold it for $6,500 to a guy. He got a sweet deal because they aren't even considered broke in until at least 25 hrs. Had bought it and a new trailer for it. Oh well,I used the 6,500 to buy my 2000 camaro ss back in 2016. Lol

2005 ford 6.0 power stroke. Spent 15k on it with 205k miles. My wife was against it. But I just had to have one. Kept it 6-8 months before the injectors started giving me problems. Just enough time for the new to wear off, and for me to wonder what I was thinking with the oil and fuel filter changes, anti gelling stuff for fuel, etc etc. not to mention the tension it caused at home.....

About 6 months after you take it to the dump... you will learn they are back in style and your game is going for about $30K in clubs.

When I received my sign on bonus I bought a brand new 1997 Mustang GT with a 5 speed, cloth seats, manual windows and locks, a "stripper model" option package 248a.

I proceeded to spray it into the 11's, boost it into the 10's, and not including the purchase price of the car, over the next ten years I put 31,000 into it. When it was T-boned insurance paid 6300.

I also bought an ex a brand new WK Grand Cherokee that she literally disappeared in like two months later, never saw the itch again.

I bought this x arcade around 12 years ago. It never gets played. I was too dumb to realize you can just play these arcade games from almost any system. I paid $3000. Lol. I have gotten no use out of it an it has zero resale value. But at least I got to play galaga!! Nice one.

Lol, funny you post that. I just pulled my x-arcade controller out and set it up again on a pc with a 42" tv. In 2 days, I've got about 1 hour of play time, and 2 hours setup time looking for cables, etc. If I feel it's time to put it up, I'll donate it to one of the kids and let them build a cabinet n such for the grandkids lol.

I was actually looking at cabs to replace the one on it due to rust along with all the other typical rust on these trucks... never would have been broke even much less be profitable.

I had one of those new, I didn't even put 8,000 miles on it, Ford bought it back lol.

Oddly, my father in law has one, he also bought his new, he went 35,000 miles without an oil change, among other general neglect, and it's still running fine today lol.

if its a real arcade from back in the day it may be worth it but, you can download emulators load onto a $35 computer, build a cabinet add a screen and be able to play any game ever all the way up to PS2 I believe.
