I once bought an Innistrad booster display for 900dkk, (about 170USD) and it felt like chrismas.

My Masters Degree in Film Studies, come this April it will have cost me about £5,000. What am I going to do with it? Nothing, education for educations sake.

actulaly worse thsn that I bought deus ex on PS3 at full price after my PC version ran a "little" less than perfect
Why feel guilty about buying Deus Ex on PS3?
It's a great game regardless of system.

Anyway... OP: Hmmmmm... that pack of cards i bought when i was 8 from the £10 i stole from my parents...
I know, but thast fact that I bought it TWICE at full price ($200) makes me feel terrible for wasting so much money

but hey at least it was my money

Maybe it was buying Tales of Vesperia for $90 (it's rare in pal territories) when I still had 270 to pay off on my Xbox 360 laybuy.

Shouldn't have bought it but oh well.

I did spend $220 on a Saber lily Distant Avalon figure a couple of years ago only to have it re-release in January next year for $160 (not including postage.)

Saints Row the Third. I had 40 pounds in my account, just out of the blue, and I got really excited "I can buy decent food this month! A book! Maybe a few second hand games!" and in 5 minutes it was gone.

I'm abit of a reckless buyers when it come to Gundam models. Ok sure some of the models were a genuie buy but looking back, some of them I had bought simply because it look "cool" which in this present day those models are keep in a box in my cupboard.

Master Grade Strike Freedom Gundam- est £50 (I kind of broke the wings so it doesn't fold out properly)
Master Grade Zeta Gundam- est £45(I'm just terrible when it come to making transforming model types.)
Hyperion Gundam- est £20 (I thought the backpack was cool but it look lame noe due to the fact I had to paint most of it.)

I also make a mistake on buying a different kind of models without pior reading on the quality of the model. It was the Super Robot Wars model. The Wild Wurger model caught my attention (it look really cool). I also bought the robot that is usually partner with it, the Wild Falken.
Both of them cost me about £50 but the model quaility were terrible. The models were stiff, hard to move the limbs and requie alot of paint. So overall a waste of money.

well aside from collectors editions....

I found out about some a store in my area that has lots of geeky stuff (comics and such)

they had alot of figurines...ranging from action figures to the more expensive detailed statues, the action figues werent too expensive..hmm from memory I have

Harley quinn
Grunt (ME2)
Thane (ME2)
big daddy
eziio
altiair
loagin (dragon age)
duncan (dragon age)
Kratos
the terminator skeleton (the original one..none of that salvation crap)

yeah..I have a problem

anyway I figured where ever you are theres always seems to be places that sell thease kind of things...

and if all else fails..THE INTERNET!

I do the same, hell I would buy the art books alone for a good price and decent amount of pages.

I've spend far too much money on League of Legends unnecessarily. I'm talking hundreds of dollars...

When I saw this in Akihabara I literally just threw my Yen at the girl behind the counter, was mildly expensive but she looks great next to the PS3

Are you a Japanese, or were you just visiting.

OT: My parents don't really let me make stupid buying decissions, so I don't really have anything that I would classify as a guilty buy.

lucky you =)

I have to get mine from THE INTERNET! And my country doesn't like that one bit . I had to play 3 times as much as a normal person would for my big daddy figurine. (totally worth it)
its a good thing I dont have the means to make online purchases..otherwise there goes all my money

do they charge tax of stuff bought online? or somthing?

anyway, theres talk over here about hoe retailers are struggling and people are going online, then again aparetnly stuff is overpriced here, I like to go retail when I can
