BUI - Guilty


OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?

My story:

I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance.  I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp.  Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes.  So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.

Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE.  Should be here by the weekend.

So what you in for?

Alcohol and related substances lower our inhibitions.  That is why we served them to our girlfriends while dating and to our wives when we are hoping to get lucky.  Any purchase we make represents the outcome of the struggle between our desires and the part of our consciousness acts as a brake on those desires.
  At least when we wake up in bed and have to interact with another person that under other circumstances we may not have had a desire to spend time with, it’s just a matter of making a quick exit and perhaps a trip to the Doctor to get an STD check.  At least buying a tube amplifier won’t give you gonorrhea or genital warts, but it sure can blow a hole in the wallet.  Perhaps the circumstances described by the OP may be the reason that many sellers here complain about buyers that stiff them and find absurd reasons to void a transaction.  Perhaps Buyers Remorse is really Stoners Remorse
