[Tatsujin]

so let's see what you held in your hands or just was a short click away from "buy it now" but then, you didn't buy it?!
and what was the reason for?

 

[albinoMithos]

I didn't buy this because my senses tell me to stay away from heaping piles:

Darius Alpha for $999. I didn't buy that today, much like yesterday. And the months before that I've had it on my watch list.

The extra $14 shipping cost is a nice touch.

[Necromancer]

I was thinking of pulling the trigger on this pair o' controllers, but decided that the price was too high and the $10 shipping sucked anus.

Did you actually hold all of those things in your hands and nearly purchase them?  If so, then you must have a lot of spare time on your hands; if not, then you clearly didn't understand the assignment. 

[Joe Redifer]

Things I held in my hand yesterday and did not purchase:

-Several theatrical release prints
-A splicer
-Splicing tape
-A monitor
-Paper
-Light bulbs
-A make-up table
-A chair
-A 35mm projector
-A 35mm platter
-A platter center ring (several, actually)
-Foil cue tape
-Scissors
-A pen
-A sharpie marker
-Shop rags
-Trailers
-35mm film reels
-Lenses
-A Dolby DA20
-A Dolby CP200
-A QSC amplifier

But then I realized that any evil I could do with it would be far surpassed by the fact that once a certain someone found out, I would be a very dead man, along with anyone and anything within a 300 mile radius...

Condoms. Again.

Were any of those items available for sale, or do you just like being intentionally obtuse? 

Yes, to the second part.  More enjoyable for me!
