I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

A desk cycle. My keyboard is on a low pull-out shelf (more ergonomic) which got in the way of any meaningful cycling while I was trying to work.

The good news is that I eventually did get off my ass and started running for exercise, first on the treadmill at home and now I do it outside. Still have the desk cycle in the basement.

Basically anything that I don't really think about.

Every impulse buy has made me measurably disappointed

It's always lower quality, less useful and I am always wish I had the money instead latter.

Collected wine. Still have lots of it, don't really drink anymore, and have no storage space. Don't ask.
