Are you an impulse buyer?

[Drago]

I don't know if it's sensible to joke online about buying a rifle these days Drago. You are joking aren't you?

Er, no.

 

[Cuchilo]

I just buy what i want .

Couple of hours ago I bought a Ferrari Enzo and immediately regretted it.

To make myself feel better, I put a deposit down on a Bentley.

Edit: on PlayStation

No impulsive buying here. I tend to get most things off 'fleabay' now. I add to my basket,then add more,then decide for sometimes weeks if i really want it,do i need it etc. Then most things get removed,leaving me buying just a couple of my original intended buys. For example,i finally bought something last night that had been in my basket,being thought over since before Christmas.

Oh that reminds me I have some jeans in my basket.

Went out to get a double buggy when our second born arrived. Came back with a SVHS recorder. Mrs S was not impressed.

If something doesn't work or wears out and can't be fixed, I get a new one, but not before... same for clothes, phones etc Mrs A is alright for a good 30 years...

Bought on impulse!!

Er, no.

So you really are a member of ......?!

Stuff:

Not impulsive here - purchases are carefully considered.

Very rare that we need to buy anything though as we have everything we need and it's just the occasional item replacement that is required.

Entertainment / R&R:

Very impulsive. We go out for meals or to the pub on impulse and likewise will book holidays and short breaks on a whim.

When I read the thread title my immediate thought was "no, I/we never buy on impulse"... but on reflection
1. I went into the shop to buy my Giant
road bike and came out with that
and a hard tail.
2. We took our tourer van to a site
on Anglesey. Been there less than
one hour and had bought a static.
3. Some years ago I went into a Volvo
dealership.....just to see the new C70.
Walked out as the proud owner of a
nice one in metallic red.

GSXR 1100 They were the bad boys back in the day.

You call that a bike? Pahh, kids stuff.
My first (and only) bike was a REAL beast.
A Frances Barnett 197cc. On a decent stretch I could get it up to 65mph.

I I usually have to save up so buy things that are just mine. So plenty off time to decide. I don’t really want much if am honest. A new bike is top off list not that I need one.

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

Nope
It takes me weeks if not months of research before I even get near to buying something say over a hundred quid

It takes such a long time to earn it that tonspend it quickly is just crazy!

A Frantic B*stard 197cc. On a decent stretch I could get it up to 65mph.

FTFY.

You know that Dyson guy now makes a hairdryer that goes faster than that.
