What is the thing you bought and still wonder why you did buy it?
Or what did you buy and felt stupid about buying it because of various factors (too expensive, etc) ?
Let us know!
I'll think about mine, I've done stupid things, but there must be one better than the others.. my first idea was being stupid enough to buy 2 "Extra Order" by mistake instead of one, but that's too easy...
i will upset a lot of fellow fans here.....but...the new album is very dull and im pissed off because after 20 years of brilliance i have realised that new order are only human after all(the new daft punk album was a let down as well)

Well, not quite. I think my two damaged copies of Get Ready that I'm keeping because they're both from different countries than my current one probably count, as I'm not a completionist in any way.
the 12 inch record of "world in motion". its exactly the same as the 7 inch but cost a pound extra.
so i bought the CD single and got 2 bonus tracks.
incidently, if anyone wants the 12 inch they can have it for £20!!

...right - "all things have been genuine" indeedly does not work with NEWorder...
KRAFTY [UK CD, Pt. 2]
Because now I'm going to buy the U.S. single (hopefully with the right cover!). It's a pity they didn't inform earlier. And some people here kept saying there would no US release.
Right now the most useless item in my collection would be my US Beta video of Taras.....seeing as how my Sony Beta VCR finally died, and I haven't gotten round to getting another one quite yet.
Also have the Factory Outing and HATYM on Beta as well; Perverted By Language by the mighty Fall too.
I got rid of all the extraneous New Order things that I no longer wished to keep over a year ago now - flogged them to the 2nd hand shop in Macc.
Stuff like the awful Sly n Robbie mixes of Ruined, the Rest Of New Order CD, Blau Montag/Blue Monday 95 12", State Of The Nation 12" (no need for that cos Substance had both sides), a few badly printed student posters, etc etc....
Mine would probably be the UK versions of (the best of) NewOrder and International. A short while after buying both of them (years apart) I got my hands on the US version of (the best of) with the full edit of Let's Go (Nothing For Me) and the International EU 2 Disc version respectively. Both original UK copies seem pretty useless now and I only really hold onto them for my collection's sake. Aside from that I treasure all my NO items as being pretty unique and I'm sure I have some other duplicate items elsewhere. I suppose my one other useless NO item would be the CentreDate version of Technique as it became much less valuable when I discovered the original FACD in excellent condition in a second hand record shop.

Got suckered into that one as well. I must have liked to so much I went and got the exact same interview on CD.
I bought a spare copy of the BM 12" 'just in case'. I think I was trying to start a conversation with the girl in the store.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call that "useless" if an hour later the two of you were listening to it over a nice chardonay and rubber sheets. 
Let's hear the story. I've got a spare 90 seconds!
The Re-Release of the "World In Motion" CD-Single. Bought it only for "Such a Good Thing" which was on Retro later on...
probably my vinyl collection,dont get me wrong i wouldn't part with it for the world but i just aint got no record player!nor do i have room for one! same with the dats,minidiscs, videos etc! i suppose the other would be the 8 different version of twisted tenderness i've got!

Yeah mine is probaby Raise the pressure by Electronic (if that counts) the only bit of JD/NO related audio I have on tape and, you guessed it, no tape player anymore.
I got one.
Fine Time single TAPE & Salvation Soundtrack tape, I don't even have a tape player anymore...
Stupid me bought those 2 from EBay thinking they were CDs.. 
I don't think there's anything useless in my New Order collection, although I haven't listened to (the best of) in ages.
