I am terrible about buyer’s remorse. Every time I spend a large amount of money, I immediately have buyer’s remorse. I can’t explain it. It happened with my car, which I bought six years ago and still love. It happened with my computer (bought a year and a half ago and I still love it). Most recently, it happened with a camera.
My camera was on its last legs. It was only four years old, but with the increases in technology, it was advantageous for me to start looking for a new camera. So I did research. And then I did more research. And finally, I purchased.
And it arrived, and I had buyer’s remorse. I can’t explain why. It takes great pictures and was a good price and the reviews are awesome. But I just hope I made the right choice. I commented about this on my personal twitter account and immediately had responses telling me that it was an awesome camera (from people who own and love it), so I’m sure that I will love it once I get using it.
I just wish I didn’t always have buyer’s remorse!
It sounds more like guilt than remorse. I get that too sometimes… I think it’s related to my mother and her view of spending money. Why do you think you feel that way?
Finally someone like me!!!! I have buyers remorse over most things cd’s, dvds, and especially large purchases! my definition of a large purchase is anything over ($100) even when I know I’ve got the best deal available there still this part of me that says “did you really need that?”. “Sure your old bicycle was ridiculously uncomfortable and not at all designed for commuting but did you really need a new bike?” etc etc etc. My car gives me the worst buyers remorse ever
I have no idea why! It doesn’t make sense – it’s not that I’m buying things I can’t afford! Maybe I’m just trained to save.
