It's not even a buy, let alone an impulse buy, unless someone is stupid enough to pay money for it. Buyers can ask whatever they like for something, but that doesn't mean anyone will pay it. There was a Watercraft box with Octoplus gear that's going for about twenty quid. If anyone wants an old plastic box that's a far better buy.

I didn't buy mine , it was free! Mind you I have been paying for it ever since one way and another

I've only ever made two impulse purchases to be honest, one was a second hand lawn mower and the other a mail order Russian bride . . . . .


Neither went much worth a damn . . . . . . .

No sympathy-Should have stipulated, must be able to mow a lawn in a straight line!! and payed the extra!

 

[mikench]

Mine did!

Mine did!

What, could mow a lawn in a straight line, must be one of the seven wonders of the universe.

That was her stipulation to me! Er indoors has never lifted a finger in the garden but regularly expresses surprise and delight at how it looks! isn't nature amazing!

What about your new Browning pole Rayner, you forget to mention that! I hope you like it! We are not here long and this life ain't no dress rehearsal so buy what you want and enjoy it while you can!

Nope I didn't forget the pole, it was bought a month or so ago.
The more recent purchases were nothing more than feel good. The items they replaced were all perfectly usable but an enforced lay off as always gave me the spending bug. If nothing else it gives me a bit of a nudge to get back quick.
I could think of a few far worse ways to lighten my wallet.
My savings were for later life and that's now.
Besides I can't leave everything to my Daughter.

No impulse my marriage.
At the time I didn't know how lucky I was. I'm definitely molly coddled.

More of a distress purchase really.

I bought a DAM Carp rod at the end of a Newark Angling Show in 2006 for £30.
Probably because I hadn't bought anything else.
Although it was a beauty, with a chequered woven blank blended into a plain tip and Fuji rings and fittings. Well worth the price.
It was called DAM Hi-Octane Carp 2 3/4lb.
Never found a trace of it on the internet when I looked later.
I entertained using it as a pike rod, when I was fed up with attacks on my roach.
I thought about using it to put out feed at the start of big river barbel sessions.
I sold it, unused, in 2016 for £30.
Not sure what the moral of that story is.

Mike. Dont want to be pedantic but if you nearly bought a bedchair, how could you sleep on it..
