Not necessarily on Eden, but anywhere? I do this a LOT. I'll buy something, and then wish I hadn't had bought it because I found out I could've gotten a better value somewhere else. Or maybe I didn't even "need" the item in the first place. It sure is aggravating to feel that way all the time. Anyone else?
Do you ever regret your purchases?

I have no problem when it is for someone else. When I buy something for me I always regret spending the money!!
05/03/2013
yes
05/03/2013
I sure do! I'll buy something, and then regret it because I'll find something better a few days later.

If I really regret it, as in it doesn't work, or is otherwise not usable, I will return it.
05/03/2013
I'm super picky, so I rarely regret my purchases of anything!

I'm the same way. I love spending money on others, but I always second guess if I should buy (or should have bought) something for myself.

Same here. One time on Eden I bought something and then 2 hours later said "Oh shit, I should have bought this other thing!" and then called customer service and canceled my first order. Sometimes I buy things I think I regret but end up liking them once I get them. I'm more careful about buying random crap now because I live in a studio apartment and simply don't have the space to hoard.

All the time. I have a lot of clothes than I never wore after buying and I tend to buy more food than I can possibly eat.
05/04/2013
I try to think about what I want to buy for a while before I get it and buy on impulse but sometimes I still regret purchasing something.
05/04/2013
Yes! I used to be really bad at buying and then returning the next day or so. I just ordered something here the other night then cancelled awhile later. I can't make up my mind on whether or not to get the Form 2.

Rarely because I try to be really careful about what I purchase, but there have been some major fails & that did cause me to regret ever buying it. Outside of toys and lingerie? Hardly ever. I don't think I've regretted a single purchase I've made at least in the last year or more. Like I said, I'm super careful. I make sure it's something I truly want and will really like or use before I buy it. I don't really spend $ on things that I'm not sure I want or need. Plus, I'm a super-cheapie, so I tend to only get it if I know I'm getting it at the cheapest price possible, or at least close to it. I don't only buy things on sale or anything, but I do go for serious bargains. Lol. But there are of course some things that are just priced at what they are and that doesn't change & if it's something I really need, then I'll just spend it.

I'm new to toys, and its hard to do enough research! Seems like you find out something else would have been better for your purposes right after you buy!
05/04/2013
I'm an impulsive buyer, so yup, sometimes.
05/04/2013
I tend to be a rather chronic returner of purchases. This is partly due to my somewhat-impulsive nature, but also partly due to my policy of going ahead and buying something if I'm not sure, as long as it's returnable. This enables me to get great deals online for things I would normally want to shop for in person--mainly clothing and lingerie, because fit is so important. Returning via the postage system can be a hassle, though, and the items I need to mail back pile up a bit sometimes!

Once in awhile I will make a bad purchase...No big deal. If possible I will make the best of it and sell it on ebay.

I've been trying to give myself a 24 hour waiting period to decide whether to buy something or not. If after a day, I can live without it or completely forgot about it, I don't purchase.

I have no idea if she ever regretted a purchase, but my deceased spouse had a shopping problem. After she died, I donated over a hundred and fifty handbags, many still had the paper stuffing still in them, probably never used. Her shopping addiction was not limited to handbags either.
05/04/2013
Sometimes, but I usually do enough research to know its the right choice.
05/04/2013
Sometimes. I try to weigh my options, look up reviews (EF has spoiled me -- whenever I'm shopping I get peeved if I can't read 10+ thorough customer reviews with pictures) and sit on the decision for a week or so. But still... sometimes things don't work out.
05/04/2013
Sometimes.
05/04/2013
I tend to regret buying things for myself even if it is something i need. I never regret a purches if it is for someone else

Luckily I don't shop too much but sometimes I do get that sinking feeling.
05/04/2013
Rarely but it does happen.
05/04/2013
There are times, yes.
05/04/2013
When buying clothes, I usually wait a week before wearing what I bought just in case I change my mind. I tend to be in impulse shopper.
05/04/2013
At times, yes.
05/04/2013
Sometimes on here. But other things not so much. I tend to get as much info before making purchases. At least for big items
