Oh man, ask my friends, I'm the king of getting screwed up things that aren't worth it.
-Electra Mini-Chopper Bike: $400, broke after 10 miles and it tops out at 20 mph and then it shuts off
-Pocket Bike off eBay: $300, starter broke after first pull, got a better one, worked for awhile, gas hose came off and won't go back on. It was fun when it worked.
-1983 Honda Accord: $400, bought it to rally it, drove it 2 miles to a garage, stayed there until I sold it for $300 last week.
-Powered by Honda Seat Belt pads: $10, only got people pissed off at me
-10" TV in my STi: $400, my friends love watching Initial D on it, but I never get to watch it because it's in the rear seat.

I know I'll think of more later.

PS2 Games. . .

Victorious Boxers (pure crap. . . Stick to EA Sports)

Formula 1 2001 (nice graphics, impossible to control. Stick to EA's F1 series)

NBA Hoopz. . . (NBA Jam gone really bad)

Defender. . . (can't compare to the original)

Ridge Racer V. . . (One of the worst driving games ever, but it was the only option when PS2 first came out.)

Mazda RX8 ......

Recently bought a Xbox game I didn't play then sold for $10.

MANY MANY DVDs I only watch them once, but I waste $25 on each, kind of dumb.

Also bought a $4000 projector that broke in 5 months But I got it replaced for $800 and it's been 2 years, still lost about $2000 on that one.


P.S. CORNER

I bought a 70-80lb boxing bag to hang in my basement.... i punched for about 2-3 minutes one day.... then maybe one other time for 2-3 minutes..... well worth the $80 i have in it....

Anyone want to pick it up and take it home?

I also recently bought 4 bags of "brick mortar" instead of "cement" to redo a sidewalk.... for $3.00 you get 80 ing pounds of the stuff.... I ended up leaving it outside until it got hard, then had the garbage guys take it away....

I (like a retard) bought that dick hole "matthew lesko" (the goofy guy with the suit that has all of the "?" marks on it) book.... I thought it would have something of use for my sister to start a business..... ya... $40.00 to buy it.... i flipped through it for about an hour and eventually threw it away.

Hey we should start a random Garage Sale/Trade thread in the For Sale forum where everyone posts all the crap they want to get rid of and maybe we can all trade useless stuff I see some stuff up here I wouldn't mind trading for hehehe. I've got an old laptop I'd trade for something. I'm sure I could find some other stuff I don't need any more as well.
