How long did it take for that regret to actually fade? I ask because you said weeks but I'm guessing that $180 to $250 price tag made it sting way longer than that. I did pretty much the same thing at a church rummage sale two years ago, passed on a $5 brass desk fan because my garage was already packed, and it sold on eBay for around $90. The part that bugs me still isn't even the money, it's that I told myself I was being smart when I was really just being scared of my own junk pile. So after you made that under $20 rule, did you ever hit a point where the stuff started piling up and you had to make a second rule to deal with it? Because that's the trap I keep falling into, I fix the flea market problem and then my basement becomes the new problem.

Heard the same from my cousin in Bakersfield.

I bought a track saw for one deck job and now I use it for everything, even trimming doors.
