Online Purchases That You Buy & Then Regret Buying Later On In Due Time

I'm quite sure here & there , there're bound to have items you bought online & subsequently you regret doing so due to various reasons .

For me here're some that I regret buying them online due to reasons :

- Aoyama Thelma's DIARY (if I know CDRama's selling it for S$18.95 , I wouldn't have ordered it online as it's much expensive . HMV HK billed me S$26.78 for the album d'oh)

- KinKi Kids's Secret Code single , regular edition (if I know the local HMV's selling it , I wouldn't have bought it online . Somemore they imported both editions here bah)

Ai Otsuka's LOVE LETTER. Initially thought only it will have the special packaging but it wasn't until the day I received it that I found out the CD+DVD would also have the special packaging I even cancelled it on CDjapan when I preordered it because I preordered both versions and wanted to cancel one

Does it have to be music?
Well, I once bought eyeshadow from someone and when it was sent to me, it was all dried up. It was the cream kind. And unfortunately, they didn't offer refunds.

I have also bought clothing that was too big or looked different on the site model than in real life, so that upset me. I feel like it is a waste of money sometimes.


edit:// oops! Just realized this is in the music subforum. Hmmm, I don't buy music online but I had a friend who ordered a Taylor Swift CD, and when she got it in the mail the case was scratched and the Cd broke in two in her hand. ><

A BEST black & white. I bought both CD+2DVD versions at the same time and like I wish I used that money to buy other albums which are much better. Two of them being Duty & LOVEppears which are my favorite Ayu albums, I still don't have them

I usually regret buying singles since I'm more of an album purchaser.

Me too. I started collecting Yuna Ito and ayaka's singles, and now I'm kind of wishing I didn't, because it's hurting my wallet.

Oh I know what you mean, I was in the exact same boat, cept well, I actually won something. But I was pretty pissed that the people at Yeasia just had to buy and they were guaranteed a gift.

A BEST 2 B & W. It was a waste since A complete came out soon after. I never listened to that album anyway. I also wish I didnt purchase singles for some artists. I only bought 2 misono singles because she was Kumi's sister mainly lol. The songs were alright.

Um, I think that my question is kinda out of place, since this is about regret, but I was wondering why the obi's are special, I keep mine, mind you, but what are they good for?

I don't regret buying CDs online. The one thing that I do regret is not having the money to buy more.

well serious collectors/buyers place emphasis on OBI's because it contains vital info on the artiste , such as past/future singles/albums/dvds that he/she released/will release in due time .

I threw away a huge chunk of them before but now that I found out that they have some merit/value to it , I have been keeping them since

GUILTY by Ayu, I pre-ordered the Japanese version because I was afraid if I waited I wouldn't be able to get the photo book. One day after I ordered it they put up the HK version which was half the price and it came with both the photo book and a poster.
