This Yeti Microphone and its only a bad purchase because my friend wanted me to get it so we can podcast and do videos together but he hasn't done much with his channel and even when he was, he wasn't very consistent. And, its not very useful to me so that's 120 odd some bucks down the drain.

I've never had a worst purchase.  What I buy I keep.

I use to be the same way but now I return if I don't like it or if it's unusable to save money.

My worst purchase was my first Navigator.  I saw that it needed major repairs and bought it anyway and it ended terribly.  In hindsight, I wish I had spent more for something better instead of prioritizing saving money.

Maybe a Microsoft  software you use in a desk top pc we had.  Didn't work cost about 100.00   and you can't return opened items.

I think my Iphone10 2 years ago. It was a great phone but I had only had my Iphone8 for about 6 months. I just felt like it was a huge waste of money when I didn't need it, even though they had a great promotion. I just got the Iphone 12 yesterday and I feel like it was a waste too because the 10 was fine.

I as well purchase cell phones when I do not need them. I think having the latest features is the greatest, but afterI make the purchase, it seems that it is really no better than the one I had.

I bought a 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer just to have as an errand vehicle for when I am home alone, but then I had Open Heart Surgery and ended up letting it sit in the driveway for a year and a half now. Some day I need to go see if it will start and drive it a little, or get rid of it.

A timeshare.  Me and a now ex bf went to Mexico and (warning don't let the hotel staff ask you to take a tour of the resort) he convinced me to buy a timeshare.  He was like go ahead you take a vacation every year why not get it.  Well stupid me I did and never used it but had to pay maintenance fees that went up every year.  I was finally able to get rid of it a few years later.  I had to donate it.

I have had family members buy timeshares and later regret it....
