    help!! late night shopping is dangerous. A few months ago I bought a VR headset. I had big plans. now it is basically a very expensive paperweight. im curious about the rest of u. what gadget did you buy with big dreams, and what actually happened?? bonus points for the ones that turned out better than expected. honesty is required, shame is optional. pls help 馃檹

    oh ive been there lol selling unused gadgets quickly is underrated. Tech loses value fast, so the sooner u sell something you dont use, teh more you get back. lmk how it goes

    been there man before buying, think about where it will live. If it doesn't have a spot on your desk or in ur daily routine, it ends up in a drawer.

    been there man my best purchase was boring: a good chair. My worst was exciting: something with an app that stopped being updated a year later. lmk how it goes

    yeahhh gadgets stick when they remove friction from smth you already do every day. they fail when they require you to build a new habit first.

    oof my rule now: wait two weeks before buying any gadget that isnt replacing smth broken. Most impulse wants fade within that time, and the ones that dont are usually worth it. lmk how it goes

    oof if youre unsure, buy refurbished or second hand first. if it sticks, great. if not, you lose less when u resell it.

    nah tbh not every unused gadget is a failure. Sometimes u learn what you don't want, and that's worth something.

    lol
