Have you ever had buyers remorse?

[blonde2themax]

I thought I was getting a fairly good deal but, now I feel like maybe I went over budget on a pony.   I can feel myself trying to make-up excuses as to why the purchase was even valid... Has any one else experienced this type of feeling? I mean  I really wanted this pony but... seriously I feel awful  .

[gazzy90]

Of course! I would say it's pretty common for us people who are spending a lot of money on small plastic horses we don't really need 

How much over budget did you go? And was it a very rare pony?

[Little Sweetie]

Well I haven't had this with ponies yet, but I definitely know the feeling. If you really overpaid much I'd say you should try to cancel the purchase.

You win some, you lose some. Then you win some and lose your shirt.

If it's pony related, I'd ask the seller if they can perhaps do cheaper postage, or if not, ask if they have anything else mlp related they can throw in as a goodwill gesture, esp if you've spent a fair bit.

Go with it, learn from it, and perhaps go without something you like for the rest of the month so you can "earn" it.

I don't ever have buyer remorse per say. Mine is more like...If I'd only waited. Like for instance the glitter G4 brushables Pinkie and Wysteria. I spent a lot on them because they were the first to show up and given the history of the other glitters never getting a release, I spent a lot. I didn't feel bad for spending the money but now wished I'd waited because those actually got a release. But I'm very happy with them non the less and my wisteria is actually different than the release.

Sometimes, a little bit. But I recover from it pretty fast. If you didn't spend money that was supposed to be for something more important, like rent or food, then just try to think you were extra generous towards the seller this time.

Yes, I get it all of the time!  I have a tendency to overpay because I will all of a sudden *need* to have a certain pony.  I can't tell you how much I overpaid buying Taobao ponies only to see them get released in the stores for a fraction of the price... If only I had waited!

I think we've all had buyers remorse at somepoint, espeically if we end up overpaying for something. I tend to get over it pretty quickly, especially when the pony shows up.

I don't think cancelling the purchase, as has been suggested is fair on the seller though and nor is asking them for a goodwill guesture because you now wish you hadn't bought it or paid so much, it's not the seller's fault.

Yah.. I've had sellers remorse, I tried thinning down my g4s and missed the brushables and ending up paying more than what I sold them for to get them back... Which ultimately made me feel worse... And I still have one more to get lol...

I'm with Sarah-Bee.

If you agree to buy something and then think you overspent, you should take responsibility for your mistake and go through with the transaction. Maybe you'll learn from the experience... and you can always re-sell the item if necessary.

Backing out of a transaction because you 'changed your mind' is pretty flaky.

And asking for a goodwill gesture is just... tacky :/

I wouldn't say remorse, but I have over spent on ponies - especially in the beginning when I really had no idea what they were worth. All that said, I'm very happy with the ponies that I bought. I also picked up a few ponies that came with a pretty hefty price tag that I realized I really don't want in my collection - so now I just have to sell them off.

Been there done that but what is funny is if it was a piece I just had to have and I look at it now I dont even remember how much I paid I JUST LOVE IT

Sometimes you take risks that in retrospect were not the greatest. In my case- buying one of those black haired Pinkies from Taobao- only to have them come out at Target for $2 less...  I felt a little silly then, but that's the risk I took. 

I agree with Sarah-Bee that trying to back out of a transaction or ask for a discount is not a great idea, nor would it be fair to the seller.

There is really nothing more annoying on the arena or on ebay- as when someone agrees to buy something or wins an auction-  and then changes their mind because they realize they didn't actually want to PAY for it- they just wanted to win it.

Yeah, I do... most recently over SDCC DJ Pon3. But I'm sure that once she arrives I'll just love her! And I had the same thing over SDCC Bubbles, and I actually paid more for her.

Just think of it this way..

"YAY PONIES"
