Soo... who's Had *Buyer's Remorse*?

nrmcj · #1 05-05-2003, 07:30 PM

to tell my honest opinion, these little bits have little to no use. *crowd gasps*...

Dun get me wrong, i love my bits, and they're worth every penny, especially the ones that i can stare at for hours.

when buying, i have no problem racking up a huge bill, eating a couple months pay in a few hours, but ... why is it that i cant stop?!

Lots of people dont really play with their bits, but i play with mine every night... and i only have the slightest, TINY bit of buyer's remorse.. (who saw the ribwitch episode of the simpsons last nite..?)

so... have you ever ordered and felt "sh*t, i shouldnt have done that.."? and do YOU play with your bits?

damn pie *sniff u brought a tear to my eye man *stiff. ya i play sometimes it would help if i had better compitition than my lil bro to race but i mostly mod then say wow that was cool hummm now what? mod again and the car's get left in the pile. sometimes i just drive on my desk tho (across keyboard and stuff).

I don't have remorse, per se, but my cars don't get much runtime...at all.

I'm all about mods and getting into the electronics and technology of the hobby. For me it's more about needing to know HOW it works, than actually working it.

...Racing my wife holds little satisfaction anyway.

heh, thems fightin words... you guys need some serious competition... but then again you guys actually have competition... my only challenge is to avoid letting my parents step on my bits... hehe, 18 years old and still sittin here playin with little RC cars...

if i was in it for simply playing, i wouldnt want more than one... but with 7 coming in and 80 bucks worth of bodies, my main reason is too just have them there lookin nice... ^___^ thus, my mods are cosmetic.. lowering, rims, custom body stuff... hoping to try some dual cells soon tho.. =)

I have so much buyers remorse man, I spent about a hundred bucks on these things, and I might even sell mine to make some fast cash. And I saw that Simpsons

Only about 20 minutes though, because I just got back from BK and started to watch it.

I have had some buyers remourse when I bought my clones. But you can't go wrong with another 70 MAh battery.

I just got back from a trade show where charge-n-go domes were being given away for talking to the guys there.
I was tempted, but for some reason I didn't ask for one. I suppose I have been saturated.

Not remorse so to speak, but enui (sp)?

PTink · #10 05-06-2003, 09:59 PM

it is kinda odd but i was raised (being raised, i am only 17, 18 on the 24th) thinking that i should save all of the money i can and i should be thankful whenever i get anything. Thats why i love my bits and i thank them often. When i think of making a donor bit i gasp and think the bit will lose its soul if i let it not run free like the wind. So yea, i do have buyers remorse all of the time, even when getting McChickens or Swedish Fish from the store. I must be crazy

Remorse eh? All the time heck yea!

Example:
I always feel that the money I used to buy the most recent thing I bought could have been saved for the next thing I want to buy

I'm too materialistic (is that the right word) I need to save up money and find a job!!! Economy has prevented me from finding any opportunities

.

Last month I planted a dollar (only cash I had on hand) with some MiracleGrow© soil and I watered it everyday and gave it a lot of sunshine through the help of four large mirrors. Something sprouted from the patch in my backyard but it turns out to be weed (not the kind where you have actually grown money on trees...err...plants)
