    PedalMonk 12 hr. ago • I bid on a guitar signed by Metallica through a radio station auction, where the proceeds would go to a charity. This was over the phone (before cell phones were big and everyone still had home phones) and live on the air. Me and one other dumb got into a bidding war for this guitar signed by Metallica. I "won" by making a crazy ending

    bid of $8000, $1500 more than the last bid. The goal was to be the crazy one, and it worked. The other dude bowed out and I "won" it. I went down to the radio station to pick it up. No party hats, no "great job!", no greeters, just me and my shame of paying waaaay too much for a Chinese made Fender with 4 sigs on it. They gave it to me in an open cardboard box with no COA.

    It's worth about $300 now, probably. Even worse, I played it a few times and wore down one of the sigs. I mean, it's still there, but you can tell it's been rubbed off a little. The only saving grace was that I got to write it off on my taxes and got back like 6K that year or something like that.

    So yeah, used a credit card with 12% interest. Luckily I had a good job, so it only took 6 months to pay it off. Do I win?

    tummyache-champion · 12 hr. ago A pair of Christian Louboutin stilletos that I absolutely could not afford and paid for with my whole credit card limit. I wore them twice. They are INDESCRIBABLY uncomfortable, the soles are paper thin, and the red scrapes off pretty much immediately if you wear them outside. I was young and clearly very stupid.
