You Want How Much?

The only thing that I always wanted was kids and they certainly didn't turn out to be anything like what I expected. They also went and grew up and that wasn't in the plan.

There was a beautiful dress I wanted. It was $240 dollars. It looked great on me. I was under the impression that it was cotton, only to find that it was polyester as well. Polyester bugs me. It's itchy and weird. I was kind of releived though as I really didn't have that type of money to spend on it

Sorry to hear that. I have had that happen to me a few times when ordering out of a catalog. I guess it was marked down because it was made of polyester.

Yes! I need a sweater and saw one the other day was was warm, attractive and just perfect, and cheap! However, I saw that all the sweaters of that type had just slits for buttonholes, no finishing at all, like someone just cut them wish scissors. They would ravel and rip very quickly. I was disappointed not to buy the sweater but I refuse to buy something that would be ruined very soon.

That's crazy. So, was it the same vest shown in the catalog? I don't think I would pay that much for anything polyester. As for wanting something badly then finding out it wasn't what I thought it was, I haven't had that experience, really. I look through catalogs, but if I think I might want to buy it, I want to go to the store where it is sold and look at it, touch it, pick it up and inspect it before I actually fork out the cash for it.

Hi ya p1kef1sh Oh yeah I sure have. I was looking at something on the internet for my sister-in-law as she is due to have her baby in a few weeks time and I wanted to get some creams specifically for her and not the baby (he will have his share of stuff don't worry). I decided to go to the shop in question to buy it as it was going cost me a fiver for delivery and it was only £11. I got to the shop and saw the item! The tubes of cream were like sample sizes and tiny. I have now decided to buy the shops own brand and make a bag up myself costing the same price but larger tubs! I was very disappointed!

[i]Hi p1, hmmmmm....I haven't tried this since when I will be going to a huge sale, I can always buy something which I like but within my budget too! ANyway, we always have huge sales here and when we will really look around, we will always find a great deal[/i]!

i love my sales p1ke.but i certainly would not have paid that much for a vest made out of polyester.i really have never wanted something that badly,maybe a good leather handbags,and i will only buy them on special and only if i know for sure i am getting a good deal.the sale i love the most is the scholastic book sale,the factory is near my place .every year we can fill up a box of books and videos for $40.00 dollars,so if you know how to pack a box up really well,you can cram a lot of stuff into a box.cheers sue

Doesn't that happen to everyone? We buy something with great expectations, and then the novelty of it wears off faster than we thought it would. On the other hand, getting more first hand information and knowledge on the item/product is a GOOD thing, if you discover it's not "all that" BEFORE you shell out the cash for it. So your experience with the vest turned out to be a great thing. I bought a digital camera almost 2 years ago because it was on sale and I was aching to have a digital camera (mostly to post updated pics of myself on dating sites and msn lol). I brought it home, figured out how to use it, and discovered that it also had a video feature. COOL! Now I could take digital video from my camera! It wasn't long before I discovered that most digital cameras come with that feature, but MY camera was special. It has video, but no sound with the video. What's the point of THAT??? Buyers remorse? Not really. I didn't know it had that feature when I bought it. But what I have learned from the situation is that my next camera is going to have video with SOUND.

Hi P1kef1sh, How disappointing for you, I can't stand polyester myself so agree it would not have been worth paying 50 quid for at all. I don't think I have ever been disappointed really, I am not a shopper at all really and will just purchased as and when I need to replace a worn out item or if buying for a special occasion, so no expectations therefore no disappontment I guess. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Pike-Guess over the years I have seen things that would be great to buy and have probably done so at the spur of the moment, but now I try to save my pennys when it comes to that, even on clothes, charity shops sell really good smart clothing and tend to go there a lot...littleowl

Don't forget to come here and pick out the leather and fleece vest and pay less..now the plane trip here will cost you but just think of all the benefits you will receive.. huggs and kisses

Hi p1key, I am glad you enjoyed your shopping trip at the Town Hall, I haven't been to one of those for a long time, I must get out more, I bough a handbag once, but when I got home I didn't like it and it is now stuck at the bottom of my wardrobe not been used one. Hugs. Tamara

That's too bad. What a disappointment for you. I wouldn't have paid that price for a polyester vest either.

Oh no P1ke that is just awful I bet you where really disappointed I know I would have been I have come across a couple of things where it was like that so like you I was not prepared to pay the Price I do hope you will find something next Year Dear Friend xx

Well.. LOL!! I am reminded of my ex. He really turned out to be something different from what I thought he was. Cheers and happy mylotting

Afraid not Pike,I am no clothes horse,I am at my happiest when I am plodding around in my old scruffs.But I do know what you mean,you psyche yourself up to the garment,you are almost salivating at the very thought of it,and then all of your dreams are dashed.So how come the leather trimmed fleece suddenly became a polyester trimmed fleece?was it because it was a sale item,often sale items are imported especially for that sale.At the lower price it should be of reasonable quality though.But if you wanted leather then leather you must have ,have you thought of going to the shopping outlet at Street?we have been there a few times,for hubby's shoes.

Well this doesn't happen to me a lot. I look at clothes when they're at the right price already. I don't always eye something and wait for it to go on sale. SOmetimes I get disappointed when the item I want doesn't come in my size anymore. Or if the last thing on the shelf but there's a hole or tear or just doesn't fit well...

Yes, i have and it is really so disappointing. I mean you have waited and maybe have been saving for it and when finally you have the chance to buy it or get it, only to find out that it was not exactly what you have been wishing for. Once i have had this experience with a blouse that i have been always looking at a department store display window. Then, finally when i have the money to purchase it, i found out that it's fabric is not what i thought it is made of.So, i ended up buying a new pair of shoes instead.

Hi pikey, Sorry about the vest. I know how disappointed you must have been. Yes, this has happened to me too. I've wanted something and waited for so long only to find out that it wasn't what I thought it was and ended up like you disappointed and not getting it after all. I hate when that happens! But, you shall find another vest that is even better and maybe even at a better price! Just keep looking! That's what I do when I really want something badly. And sooner or later I know that I will find it somewhere and it will be better!
