I just joined, saw this thread, and am thinking I must be in the wrong place. Never have I bought... I don't even know how to begin to answer that question! Is there anything I haven't bought? Nope, not right off the top of my head. welcome!

Oh yes and add foil and embossing folders to the list.

Nope, not right off the top of my head. There are more than a few of us who are your people. You are not in the wrong place. The "others" seem like they are good people though. I like to think that they leave more for me to buy.

Couple years ago, but I'm pretty sure they still have them.

Shhh, but I think I've bought at least one of everything. Ditto! Except a die cutting machine, manual or electronic.

I have never bought Gelato's. I don't want all those punch boards. I do have the envelope punch board. I don't want the rest. I am not buying art supplies with a crafting stars name on it. That is not happening. I am buying Liquitex and Golden. It is practically the same price. I get sticker shock anxiety when I see a jar of Gesso with a stars name on it, lol. I do like Jane Davenport's items. I know she has an art business background though. Everything else in this industry is fair game if it's been out for a few years and I can get it frugally, lol.
Women bringing their die cutters to crops. That is such a mystery to me. Probably because I don't go to crops, lol. I don't think I could bring my cutter to a crop. It would feel so weird to me. I would want to travel with a kit I created so I could work smoothly without stopping to mess with my tools. I heard all the 2Peas horror stories of cutter nightmares from stealing to breaking. I would be so paranoid about that.
Die cutting is exactly like dog training - it's all about teaching the human! 99.9% of the time the problem is the crafter's technique, not their equipment. Oh girl you never spent an evening with Cricut wondering what you did wrong just to see Cricut make an announcement it is on their side, lol.

I have dabbled in a lot lately but only if I can get the supplies cheap. I have never bought a punch board, those wood cutout thingies, ATG (too big for my hands),or a foiling machine.

Embossing folders and dies. I don't have a machine for them but I'm always tempted to buy one- I really like the stuff people make with them and Tuesday Morning always has neat dies and folders. I don't have a lot of tools that only have one use. I have an original cricket but I don't have a cutting machine that works with a computer. I usually use my machine at a crop that is in a hilly area and you can't get wifi or data there.
I don't do a lot of mixed media, which is weird because I'm an art teacher. I guess I deal with messes all day so when I craft at home I don't want to deal with mess. I do use glimmer mists though- they are pretty mess free.
I don't know how you all function without using enamel dots. I think I'm incapable of making a page without using them.

A foiling machine because I already have a laminator that will do the same thing.
Up until a couple weeks ago I could have said Copic markers but I just recently bought some to give to my DD for her upcoming birthday.
I can add Graphic 45 to my list. That style doesn’t match up at all with what I do. I look at their papers and can’t think of a single thing I would want to do with them. Other people do cool stuff with it but it’s really just not my style. I’ve used other vintage looking papers with great success, but I can’t make their stuff work in my head so I never buy any.

Haha, fair point! My only two die cutters have been champs; a Wizard and an Original lever Sizzix. But they definitely have their quirks, and behave quite differently even with the same dies. When something goes wrong it's always my fault or a bad die (rarely, but esp. with AliExpress it does happen.) I don't know exactly why but I've always been rather suspicious of anything Cricut; maybe because my first introduction to the brand was the cartridge based electronic cutter and the prices for the cut files just screamed scam/money grab to me. Your anecdote seems to support my gut reaction as being right.

I've never used enamel dots or a foiling machine. I have tried Copics that belong to my friends, but I just make a mess with them - won't be buying any of those anytime soon. I don't have a punch board of any kind (maybe I'm still smarting from my purchase of Basic Grey's Notch and Die tool back in the day? ) I do have a Cricut, but it was someone else's discard. But oh, yes, mama, please gimme some sprays, inks, Anna Griffin, embossing folders, cutting dies - or better yet, cut-and-emboss folders!, watercolors, Gelatos, etc...

Good grief I have bought at some stage just about everything mentioned. The only thing I can think of is lunch boards because I have a lot of dies and a Cameo

Dies, embossing folders, or anything Cricut related (I have a Pazzles).
And I have way too much ribbon, buttons, and brads, so I don't see myself buying any of those in the near or not so near future.

A foiling machine is the only thing I can come up with. Oh and copics—I’ve never purchased or used copics. I was also going to say a stamp positioner—but I ordered one this morning. I don’t use everything and some things have been purged, but I feel like I’ve bought and tried most scrap/stamp things.

I have never bought... a mixed media mat/work surface I just picked up a tempered glass cutting mat last week from the kitchen section of a thrift shop. It set me back all of $2.99.

I don’t have any distress oxide sprays. Or liquid watercolours. Or a large format or laser printer.

Nope, not right off the top of my head. This is pretty much me, too. Though I haven’t bought a Cricket or Silhouette, I do have a Scan n Cut, Cuttle Bug and Gemini. I haven’t bought Copics, but I have the SU! Blends? I think they are called.

I have used some beach papers from G45, but the paper itself is almost a piece of artwork; it is hard to put pictures down. I think it makes for great mixed media projects though.

I thought of another one: Pinkfresh paper. I have some because I belonged to several kit clubs, but I've never bought it on purpose. I really don't like their style.
I have bought Graphic 45 but I don't think I've ever used it. They are so beautiful but so busy. I loved all of the Alice in Wonderland paper and I liked the flying pig paper. I'm definitely going to have to come up with a way to use those. They are just sitting in my stash, taunting me.
