If you're buying stuff you already own, you may want to reassess some priorities.

- randallsquared 13y agoIt's stuff that 8ig8 doesn't know is already on hand. Keeping certain track of it takes more time than the repurchase is worth, for occasional use. A related situation is why lots of people have several identical pairs of scissors, can openers, and other things that they don't use every day: eventually, as you buy more of them, the time it takes to find one costs less than buying a new one. But 8ig8 has this problem with things that are hidden in the attic; just figuring out whether it is in there at all is painful.

It's in some box somewhere in my garage, but not in my "tools" chest, so it's more time effective to buy a replacement.
