DON'T Buy It!

[Stearns]

In this tough economy, particularly, we all have to watch our pennies and can't afford to waste money on products that don't appear or perform as expected. What things have you bought - it can be from simple to expensive, novelty items to serious - that did not turn out like you anticipated or as advertised? Is there something about a product that you wished you'd known before you bought it?

Tell us what the product was and the issue(s) with it. You can also use the thread to ask about a product you're considering purchasing and see if anyone else has it and what their experience is with it.

Pics appreciated when possible.

Cool idea Stearns, I'll have to give it some thought, 'cause we usually do so much research prior to buying anything. This is going to be a mind bender. You know how my memory is...not.

I went to Walgreen's to purchase one of those things, aspirations, that you use to suck out mucous from a baby's nose. None of the stores (Cvs, etc) carry the larger, single unit bulb any more. I use them for cleaning ears of adults. Anyway, I got this small, two piece job that leaked at the connection when you squeezed the Dang bulb

Ok, I said this can be about any purchase. The first thing I ever bought with my very first dollar saved (25 cents a week allowance) was a Slinky. I was mesmerized by the commercials, particularly the walking down the stairs. I couldn't wait to get one and have it do all the things I saw on tv. As many of us Slinky-victims know, the toy was a FAIL at doing more than one (two at the most) walk-over. I felt disillusioned and ripped off at the ripe old age of 6. Scarred for life, I tell ya.

He wasn't recommended... Unfortunately, the one we loved was diagnosed with cancer and is likely to pass away... :( The guy that I just fired was doing the lawn of our neighbor so I asked him to step in... and it has not been an easy ride of it.

THIS time I asked for referrals and got a guy that actually has a license and has worker's comp for his workers... I like that a lot... means he means business AND he takes care of his peeps... And, yes, a good gardener actually DOES do sprinkler systems, upgrades, as well as maintenance.

We still miss Luis and pray for his family all the time...

It's a white plastic container with a blue lid that you put litter waste in and then allegedly turn the handle and it dumps the waste in a plastic bag, seals the odor, etc.

I bought one a few years ago and it was a cheap piece of crap - no pun intended. The plastic bin kept popping apart at the seams and the handle wouldn't turn. I had to return it.

I think you're talking about Super Elastic Bubble Plastic.

You're not the only one it didn't work for. One woman blogged about how much she cried when it didn't do as advertised.

Just as a side note: Wiki says, "Chemically, the bubbles contained polyvinyl acetate dissolved in acetone, with plastic fortifiers added. Besides the obvious potential for messes when letting children play with liquid plastic, the substance also emitted noxious fumes. The fumes could become concentrated inside the straw, so users had to be careful never to inhale through the straw while inflating their balloons."

Maybe this is the reason for your memory and spelling issues at such a young age as yourself? j/k

And yes, I think that durrrr is right....is it about how long I had the sealant sitting around.

[DapperButch]

Ok, last car wax thing:

I have heard a lot of people say that they love P21S for wax. Either of you ever use it?

Everybody raves about it on the car site that I frequent. At some point I will try it, but I have spent too much on other waxes/sealants to not feel compelled to go through them first.

I think it really comes down to personal choice.

My gf has a pair and she thinks they help her butt. She has one pair that she wears when she walks in the AM and then a "nicer pair" (lol) that she wears to work sometimes. Never wears them otherwise.

I saw some guy on a Harley have them on the other day. Kind of made me laugh.

Ok, so I just called her...SWEAR TO GOD....and she says that both pairs that she has (the Reeboks and the Sketchers) due indeed work.

I believe that she found the Sketchers to be WAY ugly (ok, uglier), than the Reeboks (plain white), which is why she bought the Reeboks.

Gardeners that are not licensed and bonded... You should see the golf course sprinkler system we have in our backyard... Literally... an industrial sized sprinkler head... It's gonna cost us $900 with the guy who IS licensed and bonded to fix that plus put in a new shut off valve for the system... :(

I had to tell him to wait a while before we do it...

Call a plumber. I've installed a few irrigation systems, one on a golf course. There is no special training to maintain or install them. Only special equipment to install them.
A sprinkler co. is going to be the most expensive fix, next probably a full service landscape co. I think I would give a plumber a shout out. It can't hurt. (actually, I think I would look for a retired plumber who does "odd"/side jobs.)

If she's got mites don't use the stuff from the vet to clear them up. I've always used Vitamin E Oil. Clean her ears with it REAL WELL for a few days and it'll clear them up. The oil suffocates the mites and is non-toxic for your cat.

OK, it's early am, 2000.. I just get home from work and my then g/f and I are watching TV at 6am.. A comersial for this new and AWESOME product comes on.. We watch and she wants to get it.. We go back and forth, me saying that I don't care, I don't shave my legs, she is indesisive.. THEN the timer starts.. We'll get a free gift, but ONLY if we call in the next 15 minutes.. Yes, she ended up calling and getting the stuff..

This weekend there was a minor accident and we needed to purchase a bottle of benadine solution. We left the dinner party and went to the drug store and purchased an 8 oz. bottle of this magical healing elexir. I was bowled over when I realized it was $17. When did povidone-iodine get so expensive?

[always2late]

http://us.mbt.com/

Ok...this is where the original "rocking" shoe came from. I don't know how any of the cheaper versions by reebok, sketchers, curves, etc..work, but MBTs are really good! (expensive though) A friend told me to get them for work to help my feet and back...and they DO work!

One caution....don't buy a pair of these shoes (from wherever) and think you can wear them all day right away...you'll give yourself shin splints if you wear them for a prolonged period of time before allowing your body to get used to the balance shift....just an FYI.

Everything was so off that after 2 days- the use of a drill, a circular saw, 10 varieties of bolts and wood glue- to put it together, I still ended up with something that looked like playground equipment. The child asked if she could have a pool at the end of the bed – so she could just slide into it in the mornings.

You forgot apocalipstic. She actually wrote the words down in her post, just in case durrrrrrrr's wasn't enough to spark the music in your head.



I can't bop pink fondant!! :flowers:

None of their directioons seem to be written by a native English speaker of any kind. I suspect they are translated from the original Chinese by Swedes using an on line translating service. :(

I bought an electric scooter one time whose directions warned me to, "Beware the long slope." I finally figured out it was warning me that it didn't have enough power to make it up a steep hill, which the direction writers explained as a "natural phenomenon". :|

i dont know much about IKEA...there aint a store anywhere near here. i always thought though, they had good stuff...no? i use to date a lady who swore up and down about that store... she would start droolin just talkin about that place

[Stearns]

Okay, I have one. I'm not saying it does not work but ....

This weekend there was a minor accident and we needed to purchase a bottle of benadine solution. We left the dinner party and went to the drug store and purchased an 8 oz. bottle of this magical healing elexir. I was bowled over when I realized it was $17. When did povidone-iodine get so expensive?

Thanks for the post, Grey. I've noticed that the prices on smaller items have skyrocketed. I can barely get out of CVS with over-the-counter meds, body wash, deodorant, etc. for less than $50 these days.

I had some IKEA stuff until I purged all my belongings two years ago.

A coffee table, desk, and tv stand. I liked all of it!

Of course I didn't put any of it together. In fact, I probably went into the other room or left the apartment while an S.O. tried to follow the directions and assemble.

hee.

[Stearns]

PS. Why I gotta be a Gezerette? Can't I be gender ambiguous? It's the pink cake isn't it?

I have read the thread in its epic and mystical entirety BTW! :fastdraq:

I have three bookshelves that I bought in 1989 at the Ikea in New Jersey.

They have been painted several different colors over the years.

They are currently a metallic dark green to go with the wall paper in my study.

It is much more beautiful than it sounds.

I do the song, with my hands telling as much of the story as my voice. The little kids are enthralled. Especially with the ghoul. And, with repetition, they sing the chorus, making their hands into bunny ears. It's really a lot of fun.

And, yes, you geezers should be on alert to the more refined things Lolol

Oh, and I got the culinary model. About $260 but fricking amazing.

Yes, let us move from the binaries of western thought.
Why, think of the possibilities. A high geezerette or geezer. Nope, still in that opposition, either or place. Um, a queer geezer has a broader flow. I will be a queer, kinky transgeezer!!

Ok...this is where the original "rocking" shoe came from. I don't know how any of the cheaper versions by reebok, sketchers, curves, etc..work, but MBTs are really good! (expensive though) A friend told me to get them for work to help my feet and back...and they DO work! http://us.mbt.com/

One caution....don't buy a pair of these shoes (from wherever) and think you can wear them all day right away...you'll give yourself shin splints if you wear them for a prolonged period of time before allowing your body to get used to the balance shift....just an FYI.

Sometimes you just can't beat the originals.
I know betenoire's in the market for some. And, uh, I think Ezee really wants a pair, too, but has his heart set on the Skechers :tease:
Thanks for the link and advice, always2late.

I like some of Ikea's stuff too, I think the key is making sure you are not the one putting it together...or....ignoring the directions and using the diagram.

My vanity chair is from Ikea and I love it and we have a ton of their stuff at work! IT has rollers and is very sturdy! I am rough on my vanity.

I just make sure someone else either puts it together, or leaves me completely alone while I do.

Totally agreed. I tried it on my Shepherd mix, but she's not really good at sitting for the 8+ hours it would've taken to get them filed down with that two-bit piece of equipment. Returned to store.

I bought this pillow at JCPenney's to help with a neck issue. It was great while it lasted - all 4 - 5 months. The bumper support completely flattened out where my neck lay, which of course defeated the whole purpose. I'm glad I got it on sale, at least. Normally, they run around $60.

If you have not discovered the magic of latex pillows, it might be worth your while - I converted Jess right after we started dating and its been a love affair for nearly 4 years now. We just purchased a new king set, not as replacements for the queen set we have, but to supplement since we upgraded to a king mattress.

This Sealy is one of the queen sets we have:

I looked this product up after you posted this, apocalipstic. People who used it were enraged at what it did to their hardwood floors, and they all had great difficulty removing the residue. One reviewer was so upset, she wanted to know if others wanted to go in with her and file a lawsuit against the company.

Sex harness FAIL..

Any harness that has an elastic band is a total fail.. It moves around and you slip out :( When a customer brings it to the register I always ask them.. "ummm.. are you planning on fucking with this? 'Cause it isn't worth it.." They are nice for blow jobs, because of all the freedom of movement, or for packing, maybe.. other then that.. Total fail..
