I was wondering if people had any thoughts about specific products made over the past 20 years or so that were unusually frequent generators of "buyer's remorse."I am not so much interested in just plain bad products or buying decisions, I am more interested in products that occasioned love/despair relationships; products that had one or two extraordinary capabilities that for a while covered up for other shortcomings, which eventually drove the owners to put them up for sale, however reluctantly.
Thanks for any suggestions or stories.
