The "Why on earth did I buy that?" Thread.

[Potty]

The title says it all

I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where everyone posts their blunders

Can be a pot from any time during your collecting.

I'll pot mine, once I think of the best (worst) example

[Potty]

Well I've been thought my old pictures and I think I've found "it"



would have been 50p-£1 max, but I've no idea what I saw in it

Oh, so many mistakes but most I'm happy to live with. The worst in terms of waste of money and hating the sight of them, has to be this pair of vases of Belquim Art Pottery:

we used to have a thread in the early days of the forum that these pots were made for,it involved before and after shots and a big hammer

I have had to numerous to mention " why did I buy that's", but I try and get rid as quick as possible , car boot or chuck them out , we all do it to a certain extent not just with pottery / glass etc , I have clothes I haven't worn since they were bought , but that's probably because I never get out

I might be able to live with them if it wasn't for the bl**dy palm trees.

From a distance they look like two kinder eggs .

From a distance they look like two kinder eggs .

If only. I wouldn't begrudge spending £60 on chocolate.
