I bought brand new catchers equipment last summer, a week later tore a muscle in my shoulder and have since re-torn it twice, haven't caught since then.
Bought a new baseball bat late last summer, played in a wooden bat fall league and now I use my friends deuce this summer.
I've bought a few movies that I have never watched, what a waste of money. Same thing with some video games, but I'd at least play the game a few times.
