Whats the worst purchase you ever made?

I bought the Pikachu With YOU Wagon promo for roughly 950 USD including shipping, middleman fees, and import fees. They later dropped to around 150 USD, and I think they’re at around 250-300 now despite the crazy market.

I’ve already told this story a dozen of times, so I’ll just link one of the posts that contains the details this time. Definitely my worst deal, although I don’t regret the decision I made back then tbh.

Also funny reading back that old post of 2017, I mentioned the following:

Some bad deals were paying for pre-orders of a soon-to-be-released card, and then having the prices drop to less than halve three weeks after it has been released. Had this a couple of times, so now I won’t pre-order anymore, and depending on the amount that is being sold on eBay I decide whether to buy it in the week of release, or a couple of weeks afterwards after the price has dropped. These differences are usually 40 → 20 or 18 → 5 USD or something similar, so nothing too crazy.

Crazy to think, considering now pre-orders are being cancelled and 3-4x as high in the few weeks that follow its release.
