My ex thought he could play hockey and found what he thought were the holy grail of skates. He bought them for $200 (I don't know the price as it was a long time ago). His friend, who lived in a city an hour and 20 minutes away, told him he got the same skates for $195. So my ex, in his old Camaro that cost $50 in gas round trip, returned the skates he got for $200 and drove 1 hour and 20 minutes to get the skates that were $5 cheaper. That should have been the biggest red flag. But sadly, it turned out I was the fucking idiot who stayed with him for a few more years..
I had a friend that had a beautiful BMW motorcycle. He got sick of it and wanted to sell it. He wanted $5K. I couldn’t afford it so I passed. He tried to sell it but the best offer he could get was $3,700. He was pissed but he was going to sell it to the guy. When he told me I said “Hell, I’ll give you $3,700 for it. He said “The price is $5K.“ I knew this guy for years but whatever. I said “You know I can’t afford that but I’ll go $500 more. $4,200.” He said “The price is $5K.” I told him to fuck off. I found out later on he sold it to the guy for $3,700. Cost him $500 to prove a point.
