When did you not get value for money?

Hi,
Tell us a story about when you bought something, but you felt ripped off or the product didn't seem worth the money.

I had a quickshot joystick bought new for my A500 (back in the day), broke within a couple of days. The metal strip that controls direction broke.
For the PC I bought a racing wheel and pedals for $100 (maybe a bit more can't remember). It had lousy sensitivity and made racing games nearly unplayable.

Nowadays if I don't like something I'll take it back within the week and get a refund. One of the problems of buying online is that you don't get to inspect something close up. Close up pictures or a refund policy are a good substitute.

I agree with many of those things especially restaraunt. I've never had real home style cooking at a restaraunt in last ten years, just hastily prepared stuff with supermarket packaged ingredients. Reminds me of National lampoon European Vacation where they put french flags on the Microwave tv dinners.
