What did you NOT buy today?

[BuffaloBill]

Thought I'd make a thread for people trying to avoid the neverending cycle of gear accumulation.

I talked myself out of stopping in Academy earlier and possibly buying stuff that I don't really need. They're pretty much wiped out of most ammo and firearms anyway.

My name is Corey and I’m 14 days clean on buying hunting gear, however I did find a spray can of tinks in one of my Walmart bag last night.

I did not buy a jx3 for $280 because I couldn’t find it on FB. Saw it last nights and watched a bunch of videos to make me think I needed it. I’m glad it wasn’t there anymore.

I currently have a cart full of stuff on EWO. This post has helped me to back down from the ledge and put half of it back. Only half though, like the ultimate one stick. Thank you.

I didn't buy the beast stand cause they won't let me yet

I didn't buy a hand pump for my new PCP air rifle, yet.

I tried to buy 22LR ammo today at 2 stores but no luck.

More in the spirit of self restraint I resisted buying the size 2 Kite that was for sale here recently. Man that was hard to pass up!

Hey now. Dano don't like to hear that kind of talk around here

I feel a tiny bit better if I tell myself that I almost didn’t buy it. Better luck next time self.

I kind of regret not buying a box of 800 count Federal box of .22 that I saw on the shelf at Walmart for like $42 recently. But the only .22 that I currently have in possession is an old Hi-Standard revolver that I was given.

I’ve seen a couple of things for sale like that. Looking at it hoping someone buys it so you can’t because you don’t really need it but it’s too good of a deal to pass up.

You put the one stick back or kept it in your cart? I’d suggest you keep it in your cart or put it back. I didn’t buy the ultimate one stick but have pieced a couple together from Eastern Woods Outdoors before they were sold in a package deal. I love mine.

I didn’t buy 100 foot of rescue tech from Eastern Woods Outdoors today but I did receive it. Does that count?

I did not buy a down sleeping bag and 1 man tent. When I think of something I plan to buy in the following year, I write it down on a spreadsheet because sometimes I'll forget (that should be a clue I don't need it). This list is bad because the thought process is "well, I'm going to buy it anyway, so why not now?"

What really makes you feel bad is when you buy something you already had once and sold. Done that a couple times and always feel like an idiot. The urge to sell can be just as bad as the urge to buy.

Man I rarely buy anything. Lack of funds helps.

It’s not hunting gear but about 5 years ago my best bud passed away. I got his vinyl collection. Went through it and started picking stuff and putting them in my shelves. Did 3-4 passes. Loaded the rest up a couple weeks later and went to a shop that buys such stuff.

With $600 store credit and some cash. I kept going back and picking up stuff every now and then. One day I picked up 3 albums from the used shelves where they put the new to the store inventory. Later that day the wife and I were out and we stopped by a bookstore that also sold records. Picked up a new copy of the Violent Femmes from the early 80’s.

Got home that night and found out that I did in fact own that album already. 3 of them in fact. Paid $8 for that album in the 80’s on cassette and then paid $34 for a new one. That I didn’t need. After laughing that off I opened up the used stuff to take a listen and 2 of the 3 had Johns initials on them. Yep. I’d bought albums that I sold to that store.

I know have a google doc that has all 850 something albums on it. Before I buy....I do some research into my existing library.

I need to apply that to hunting stuff too.

I too didn’t buy any of that stuff in Tjraley2 ‘s cart!

 

[paradocs]

Was preparing to post a list of my EWO cart, but hit "complete order" instead...never mind.

I didn't buy this vintage camo fleece set, but it is mine now, got skinny enough to wear it and raided it from my wife's vintage clothing business's stock.
