I didn't need it, still I bought it...

Do you know the feeling, that you see something and that keeps nagging in your mind, like a splinter in your brain.
You know you shouldn't buy it, but you can't resist.
I saw this add about 2 months ago, added it to my watch list. This weekend it popped up that it would soon expire.


So, I contacted the seller and now I am the proud owner of a, new in metal box, Optimus Nova 125y edition.

I will probably never use it. But for some reason I had to buy it

 

Welcome to the Optimus Nova 125Y Owner’s Club

 

WOW! Very nice, indeed! Congrats!

My garage is full of stoves I don't need but couldn't resist. I know the feeling well.

“Need” is such an arbitrary word, really. Who gets to decide that?*


*Those happily ensconced in the holy bonds of Matrimony may have some additional guidance on this matter, still the point remains

 

Acquisition is easy.

 

It's contagious. Tom

 

As Jimmy Buffett sang:
Need is a relative thing these days,
It borders on desire.
A high tech world full of bright shiney things
We think that we really require.....

 

Thank you all for your reactions

And yes, I am fully aware of the richness that I have.
The fact that I leisurely can buy something that costs me almost €200,
without feeling it in my pocket with the knowledge that I will never use it.
While so many are hungry, without homes or a safe place...

 

You could give away all your stuff, and join them. Maybe that would assuage any feelings of guilt?

 

Yes, I could... But I don't feel that guilty

 

Well - if you do have a sudden change of heart - be sure to hold back one good stove - to heat up beanie-weenies &c.

 

@Fettler and which stove would you keep if you could only keep one?

 

I look at need this way, it needed a new home and there you were........
