Have you ever regretted NOT taking up a bargain on here before? Normally it's "ooo, bargain, let me buy and save money" and in turn in reality you end up spending extra money as a result.
But I'm now regretting my lack of a purchase. I didn't take up the Quiksilver 24 hour GC sale as I wasn't sure if I could buy it for myself and the Terms and Conditions weren't very clear. I didn't really think it through but in the end didn't bite being worried I wouldn't be allowed to use multiple or buy them for myself as terms and conds were not great as stated. Now after being sucked into their 40% off sale I just blew $202 on their gear. Now the OzBargainer in me is absolutely peeved off. I realise now perhaps I could have just bought my sister the gift cards and gave her the $ to buy my items or whatever. I just wish their sale on Gift Cards wasn't so vague. That $202 I spent I did save $134 or so on but if I went for the gift card offer I could have got it all for something like $122! (If you can use gift cards on sales items, I tried looking at their terms and conds for this as well, but it's not clear)
So by NOT taking up a bargain I've essentially cost myself $80 whereas normally taking up these bargains involves me spending more lol :(
I realise it's the ozbargain way to buy first, ask questions later and not following this golden rule has ruined my year :'(
Are there any bargains you've not bought for any particular reason and regretted it not long after? Am I the only one kicking myself for resisting a bargain that might not have worked? IDK :(
I had an opportunity to purchase one of the KMart Wii U's earlier in the year. A friend who is a store manager offered to put one to the side for me. All that I needed to do was to get down to that store within the next few hours. My partner wasn't home and was unavailable to be contacted so I ended up politely declining the opportunity. A couple of days later she proposes that we purchase two Wii U's - one for us and the other for her bestie's kid's major Christmas present. We ended up getting one of the Skylander Wii U's at Big W but spending at least a couple of hundred dollars more for a premium deal at EB.
