Nevermind....the buzz wore off and my senses are restored to normal.

Nice save. I would not have had such restraint if I had started a post when you did...

Hey if we go beyond music, can my ex wife and my divorce count?

I'm sure you "purchased" your divorce, chauncey. But is your ex-wife from a former red satellite state? Cuz those are the only "wives" I know of with a money back guarantee... oh, and some far eastern gentlewomen nowadays as well, i guess...
And do those count as "hardware" or "software" or maybe "nagware"...

Actually, I looked it up... "Gimme, gimme, gimme!-ware"

I paid my $1000 for the ad "Asian women seek rich husbands" (not really, but I have seen those ads and she was Asian, until she got the surgery to change it)
I paid about 100x that to get rid of her.

You know what I used to before I got married????

ANYTHING I WANTED TO

I never knew what happiness was until I got married
Then It Was Too Late

I have a million of them. I'm givin'em away down here.

Yeah, I have Proteus X2 and, while I wouldn't call it my worst purchase, I definitely should've spent the money on something else.

Wish I would have bought sooner / Wish I never have bought??
Best / Worst - purchases?

Mesa Blue Angel amp (2x10" model, with replacement speakers by Eminence)
2" acoustical foam for my bedroom studio. Need more, plus some good bass traps......

Worst:
Most of the disappointments I've had with music stuff were with small stuff (various efx pedals, software, etc.), and stuff I bought many years ago and which is long since gone. I've been pretty lucky, overall. Two of my worst purchases were guitar pickups, of all things. I had no luck at all with Fender Fat 50's replacement pickups or Stewart McDonald's humbucking pickups. Of course, the sound of pickups is very subjective, so YMMV. I just didn't care for the tone of either set for a guitar I built a couple of years ago. And, the Fat 50's didn't sound nearly as good as the Lace Sensors that came in my Strat plus, either. Another thing that didn't work for me was the Tube Screamer TS-808 reissue overdrive pedal. It's expensive and it just didn't get the tone I was looking for. Again, YMMV, since we all have different tastes in tone.
