Just for context, I try to be mindful of only buying things I need, and if so it must be either second hand or on sale, etc
About a month ago I decided I wanted to get back into bicycling, so I needed a new bike. Because of Covid, there’s been a worldwide bike shortage. I checked all the big box stores and even messaged a few people on marketplace (fb). All the stores were cleared out of the kind I wanted and every time I saw one on marketplace, it had just been sold hours earlier
So I went to a local bike shop and found the perfect bike for me but it was $500 which was a hard pill to swallow, but I did it anyway
I have thoroughly enjoyed my bike and ride it nearly daily now, but ever since I bought it, it seems like more and more used bikes are popping up for sale now and I probably could have gotten something similar for half price
I can’t stop kicking myself for this! I hate spending extra money when I could have avoided it
Does anybody else do this?
