Anyone else fill a 'cart', think better of it, and empty it shortly after?

I play a little game on pvk or arizona - I put everything I want in the cart, till the total is well into the tens of thousands, and send a screenshot to my wife from the other room. Then, like a raging bull, she comes into the office yelling "WTF do you think you're doing?" And it happens over and over again and never gets old. One day, I won't be playing around - maybe? 🤣
 
I do this quite often, and always end up reminding myself I have all bases covered... at this point its just backup or upgrades

I do plan on getting a higher end piece at some point, and I do end up getting some value propositions occasionally

the biggest reason I haven't blown 500+ for the 'special' factor, is everytime I think on it, I realize I'd rather get special by doing my own custom handle & custom blade

mostly attributed to spending time at granpaps farm, was such a short time, but made a huge impression
wish I could have spent more time
 
Deleting the cart ?
All the time pal, all the time.

Sometimes cart (ok carts) are open for month or more,
and "improved" dozens times.
New, old normal :^D
 
Being a knife enthusiast, there are just way too many knives but not enough money/time/space for all of them.

For those knives that could be "impulse buy" or "nice to have", I tend to put them in 'wish list' and see how I feel about it until my next 'must have' purchase.
 
Unless I seriously plan to buy i. no. But I will use the cart to check shipping costs and whether tax is collected and if Paypal can be used.
 
A few times, like an itchy trigger finger. I like how it was mentioned above to check shipping and tax.
 
Guilty as charged.
I have have filled and emptied my carts at Benchmade, BladeHQ, and the Knifecenter.
But it's usually because I decided to buy something else....
 
I do it all of the time. I see something I want and then think it over and usually I take it it o the shopping cart.
 
In my case: filling and emptying the cart usually involves the checkout line...

I’ve tried that strategy before except my wife storms in demanding which ones are hers.
 
For me, carts are like storage areas for things I am thinking about possibly buying. At any given time, I have stuff in carts, in 2-4 different online sports/knife stores. For every item I buy, I probably empty 20 from carts. It's just part of the addiction.
I hate those constant "we noticed you left some items behind" emails.

I do it all the time, especially during the covid-19 lockdown.

What I do when I've loaded an online cart is to wait overnight and sleep on it. Usually when I look at the cart again the next day, I realize that most, if not all, is garbage that I don't need.

Not just knives, I do this with all my online shopping.

The pandemic certainly doesn’t help much… *goes back to eyeball knives*
 
the TEAL question is HOW MANY do I have full right now?

eta: As opposed to the red question. too funny to change. sorry.
 
Oh my, yes. My usual strategy is this.
Step 1: See new knife that looks cool.
Step 2: Obsessively research knife.
Step 3: Make sure that I want to spend that much/start squirreling away some knife money.
Step 4: Add knife to cart.
Step 5: Start nitpicking very small dislikes of knife or of perceived cost.
Step 6: Decide I don't want knife and remove from cart.
Step 7: Realize I have cash saved up and impulse buy something entirely different.
