What do you think is a ridiculously over priced scrappy tool that you admit you own?

My QK dies. I spent a fortune on them but do occasionally use them. Same with my sizzlet alphas but I didn't use those as much. I felt so guilty about the money spent I even moved them with us last summer. Some have never been used.

Well, retail value, I would say my dies & Zipemate.
But I never pay the original price. I'm a discount shopper all the way.

I held off buying Copics for years. Now that I invested in some, I feel like I don't have the right colors and I don't know what the heck I'm doing with them!!!

Cricut cartridges. I don't have a ton in comparison to others, but some I've used like one time. I mostly use (and love) my Silhouette now, but I knew I wouldn't get even close to what the Cricut machine and carts are worth, so I decided to hang on to it. I do occasionally use my Cricut for easy stuff like circles and stars if I don't want to open up my Silhouette software and throw some on the mat.

What I still have and use would be my Copics.
What I bought and then sold would be my Cricut and the many cartridges.

Probably my Cricut cartridges. I never paid full price, but I don't use them enough. Lately I use my Quickutz dies more. I am trying to get a friend from work to sell me hers. She has offered, but never brings them in. I'm not pushing, but I did mention it when she talked about selling stamps on her garage sale.

Cricut cartridges. I use most of them ,but there are definitely some that have been used only once or not at all.  |

I also have a lot of Cricut carts I don't use. I have a few I use a lot and then some others I just haven't been able to part with. I did sell some before we moved. It is sad that you get so little in comparison or what they cost a few years ago. Of course the new carts are really cheap now.

I don't own but want a Misti stamping tool. My only hesitation is that I think the price is way too much for what it is although I know that those who stamp regularly get a better value (pay per use wise)!

I have loads of punches, but I do use some of them (Yep not all). I never pay full price either, but all total there is a boatload of ca$h tied up in the big Rubbermaid tub that houses them.

The ones made out of a DVD look pretty easy to recreate. |

I'm sort of wishing that a similar item will be created by another manufacturer as predicted on the epic stamping thread! |

I don't buy into a lot of tools but I have a drawer full of punches yet always pull out the same two. I still have these old whale of a punch flowers that were all the rage for a while, so of course I had to have them, but have rarely used them...

My Quickutz alphas and dies, had to have 'em. But I do love them and use them frequently.

My only hesitation is that I think the price is way too much for what it is although I know that those who stamp regularly get a better value (pay per use wise)! Sorry I could not join last night, looks like it was tons of fun. We had a power outage, and we run the rural water system for our subdivision so we had lots of work to do keeping the homeowners informed and then making sure the all the pumps worked properly once the power was restored. Now i want a MISTI. Looks terrific. I am very new to stamping. Wonder if this would be a good tool for me? |

There is a really long thread on the stamping board (some of it discussing the patten pending process and copying issues) but many of the stompers like it and get some great results. There is also a Facebook group but go to the last few pages of that thread to find the name as they have recently changed names. |

It's a tie between certain spellbinder dies that I had to have and never used and my bind it all. I think I would have been better off with the cinch. I can never seem to line up anything!
