For me, included in the above heading would be

A pinball machine

A Hornby train set

A leather jacket

A Precision Bass in sonic blue


Might still do something about the last one, been thinking about it for a few years. Excuses for the first two would be space, and for the jacket it would be finding something I really liked, and then occasions to wear it, plus thinking maybe that sort of thing has had its day.


List yours, and give excuses reasons.

It would be nice to see some reasons being given, there's got to be some if people want stuff and can afford it, but yet don't buy it, surely?

Here's another one from me-

Euro Truck simulator with a steering wheel and maybe even pedals etc. Reasons, either I wouldn't play it after the first couple of goes, or else I would be on it all the time, and it's the latter that scares me, a bit.

A juke box.
fk yes, should have mentioned that for myself. Big one. Then I could listen to Jumpin' Jack Flash etc while I play my pinball machine right next to it.

I'd suggest that most people, myself included can't afford what they're posting. If they could, they'd buy it. I know I would. Bills to pay and all that come first.
Well I can't speak for them, but I could certainly afford the relatively modest things I'm posting. Posting stuff that they can't afford would rather be getting away from the point of the thread, which is all about other reasons for not getting the stuff they want.
