Worst buy ?

[Nifty]

What turned out to be the worst purchase that you ever made?

[Captain Morgan]

A house in a really bad neighborhood. Managed to shift it but lesson learned - do your research!

[SP1DER]

Mini metro 1982 or thereabouts

[Aardvark]

A brand new 1963 Sunbeam Alpine.
Fell to bits.

The wife wanted a mincing machine. After much looking around I found one at a really keen price. Only when I got it home did I realise that the mincer was unpowered and was an attachment for a mixer. So of course I had to buy the not cheap mixer to go with it! It turned out to be a very expensive mincer in the end.

CCC cordless drill in the Bricolage shop at 4 Temps, La Defense (not sure if still there).

Actually bought two - a colleague said you can use one as spares if the other breaks. Both broke.

Taught me the lesson, buy cheap, buy twice.

Taught me the lesson, buy cheap, buy twice.

It was even worse... buy cheap, buy three times!

Got one here for sale, €25. With motor. Perfect working order. Only done about six pigs worth of sausages.

Ats bought an exercise machine from decathlon.
It broke.
She took it back.
They said it's only for occasional use.

I bought an old Jaguar at auction when I was 18 or 19.
Started filling it up with petrol but the tanks were rotten and it never did get a full tank.

I did buy a house in France and a main wall fell down within days of completion.
