Jazmac Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 During the lockdown, there are things that ended up in my Amazon cart during the height of the lockdown. Some good. Some not so good. What are some purchases you DON'T regret making? Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My RTX 2080s - At first I was happy, then 3000 series was announced and I felt like an idiot. For obvious reasons, very happy that I have this in retrospect. PS you're right, it is ready for a dusting in there, I'm on it :D Jazmac and Steven P. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The only major purchases I made during the lockdown were an iPad and a Samsung electric stove (no damn gas in the apt). This year will be more interesting as I am due for a new phone and will be buying a laptop. TBH I am more interested in the purchases people regret buying...

indospot Veteran Posted April 19, 2021 Veteran Share Posted April 19, 2021 I would say I regret almost nothing I've bought over the past year, though admittedly there's nothing very extravagant either. Probably the craziest things for me were a Game Boy Advance SP, special NES edition I got and a GameCube controller I had to import from Japan. Otherwise mostly just more games for the collection.

+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted April 19, 2021 MVC Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sorry to say I didn't really buy anything beyond my normal spends over the last year. Aside from cancelling a vacation (that resulted in a net positive to my back account for the year) nothing at all changed in mine or my wife's life. We only really had about 2 weeks of anything even close to a 'lockdown' (and never came close to overrunning our hospitals) so no need to splurge here.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted April 20, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted April 20, 2021 Switched from my iPhone XR to the Samsung Galaxy S21 a few weeks back. Got my GPD XD Plus last year which I do the majority of my gaming on now. Great N64 emulator. Also play full PC games on it with my Shadow subscription. Got a Raspberry Pi to use as a media server, found out it's gigabit ethernet port doesn't actually get full speed though and there are some other speed limiting bugs for a couple apps so I've already replaced that with a refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G2 which runs great for what I need as a mini home server. Also upgraded to the Versa 3 last year as well. Jazmac and Steven P. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
