I bought some simple glass bowls about, oh, 20 years ago. Small, medium and large, purply pink clear bowls. I think I bought them from some weird place like a drug store on sale cheap. I have used at least one of those bowls every day or two since then. They have been worth probably 10 times what I paid for them. Easy to clean, durable. Just an all around awesome purchase.
A bad one? Portable mp3 players....but only after my 1st one which was awesome. When it died I've bought about 3 since then all of them poor, features sucked. I just ordered a new one from amazon.

Bad: Smartphone without a 3.5mm headphone jack (Nokia 9). Those dongles break down too fast, even the 'quality' stuff from Razer. And (quality) USB-C wired earbuds are thrice as expensive as a similar quality 'stereojack' one, plus much less choice, at least when you disregard the cheap Chinese crap. And those dongles and/or usb-c wired plugs stress the USB-C port too much, for they aren't made for that mayhem.
Good: Bean-eating Espresso-machine. I kind of got fed up with Senseo-coffeepads, or the regular dripping-machine stuff. It's kind of the same as moving on from Lagers to Craft beers...

This one I did not really purchase but rather used some kind of store reward points for years and years ago. An electric can opener. Another one that has been with me for like over 20 years. With me through a move, always works, always reliable it is attached under one of my counter cupboards. just a great item.

Bad: Asus Maximus VI HERO R.O.G series motherboard (2013), Original ASUS Tablet ( from when the original blackberry tablet came out, I forget the year....2008 I think)....and many other ASUS products (2006-2013 GPUs, motherboards, Tablets etc). THe last REALLY, truly GOOD, QUALITY ASUS Motherboard I owned was the P5E Gaming Deluxe and the P6T Deluxe after that. Those were 'rock solid, heart touching' (as ASUS' former slogan used to say). Every other ASUS product I've had since those two boards has been utter garbage. And the Customer service has been even worse.
Good/Excellent: Gigabyte X99 Phoenix SLI (2016), every EVGA/Nvidia GPU I've owned (680, 760 Dual FTW, 980 FTW, 1080 FTW2), BOSE Companion 2 desktop stereo speakers, BOSE AE2 over-the-ear headphones, Logitech G935 Surround sound gaming headphones, Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse (original model 2005), Taylormade Aeroburner golf clubs (2016)....Best clubs I've ever owned from way back when the original Burner Bubbles came out in 1996, and the AeroBurners are the nicest feeling modern set I've ever hit (including the, R7-R9, R15, M2,3 and 4s), Footjoy golfshoes, Footjoy waterproof rain jacket......are just some of the things that have been well worth the money.

Good buys:
HP 50G. Or accurately: My HP 28S calculator, which I progressively purchased updated versions of in the shape of HP 48G+, HP 49G+, HP 50G. These are HP's discontinued RPL calculators. And this means a lot. An RPL calculator has been a companion of mine since more than 30 years, and I can't imagine life without it.
There are no other calculators available in the world that are even remotely comparable to this HP's discontinued RPL-line.
These are: HP 28S, HP 48S, HP 48G, HP 48GX, HP 48G+, HP 49G, HP 49G+, HP 48GII, and HP 50G. Functionality is very similar throughout these. They have mainly been uprated in hardware, and builtin functions.
And:
Parker Vector fountain pen. I bought a few of these a long time ago. And while I only occasionally rotate a Vector to use these days (I mainly use more expensive pens these days), they were for a long time my stalwart companions in studies and work. And they are still, by my preferences, excellent, almost perfect pens.
Bad buys: ...Eehh,.. Nothing particular comes to mind... Though I've certainly purchased things I haven't been happy with, over the years.

Good: Aida "Raw" series stoneware mug. Completely stopped using glasses at home, after finding out that the mug keeps cold drinks cool as long as it keeps hot drinks hot. Which is a long time.
Bad: Philips SHP1900 Headphones. They were relatively cheap, so I shouldn't have expected too much, but still annoying. Died after just four months of use, and never cranked volume up to loudest. Also didn't isolate sound as well I expected.

a 32" 4K Gaming monitor from ACER (XB321HK) Horrible lightbleeding and a defective G-Sync module caused nothing but problems since the day I got it. Had it for about three weeks and then returned it to Amazon where I bought it from.
Never again. I'll just add ACER to my list of companies to stay away from.

Asus P9X79 motherboard. Solid.-- Unicephalon 40-D
See that's what I'm talking about. the X79 chipset was released in 2011 with the (original) 2011 v1 Socket and it was a solid combination. The P9 series from ASUS was a rock solid, heart touching motherboard as I remember (not from personal experience but from reviews and the like). So I am going to fully admit that many of ASUS' products from that era or even now are good quality stuff (my dad has a Maximus X with an 8700 CPU and it's been great.
I just happened to get a series of lemon, garbage products (along with crappy customer service) and that has soured my impressions and experiences.

I bought a Rock Island Armory UltraTac 1911 pistol in .45 and never managed to fix its jamming issues. Bought new magazines, tried different ammo brands, changed all springs, swapped out the extractor, polished the feed ramp - even made my own ammo, it always produced one of three random malfunctions. Returned it to the dealer and got my money back, thankfully. Beautiful pistol, but it just didn't want to work. I don't want to bash the US here, but every product I ever bought that was made in the US didn't work right - or not at all-, be it guns electronics etc. 100% failure rate so far.

Many years ago, I bought a Canon EOS 6D camera. That's the old version, not the 6D II. It's a big full format camera so requires also big, heavy lenses. The image quality, though, is outstanding in any light. I absolutely love it, and have absolutely no desire to replace it with something more modern. I've looked at the 6D II, but I like the color vision and low light IQ of my old 6D better, so I'm happy I got it before it was replaced.
I have half a dozen lenses for particularly this camera, ranging from 24 mm to 600 mm focal length. Again there is a favorite, a fixed EF 200 mm F/2.8L II. A magnificent lens that is much lighter and shorter than the various famous 70-200 zooms, and when I use this, it's typically when you won't really miss the shorter focal range. It doesn't have stabilization. But it doesn't need it. It's absolutely razor sharp fully open at 2.8, so I can get short times.

I thought RIA were made in the Philippines? Some parts are, the rest is made in the USA and definitely assembled in the USA. That's probably the issue, if it were wholly made in the Philippines it would probably have worked.

But if you did meamp 1st i could see a person having issues with me3mp Yeah, I wasnt getting used or used to that kind of slow and cumbersome multiplayer game at all, I really was quite shocked when some people insisted it was good and maybe even better than MEAMP... I felt like betrayed and even thought I was being made fun of for awhile, you see the previous game I played was UT2003 and 2004, especially low gravity games. I've always thought ME3 combat as working, but not for multiplayer. I played it in SP in realtime for some parts but felt even back then it was quite agonizing and the same flaws existed now in MP I was being recommended. MEAMP was answering to that UT2k feeling where I could navigate in 3D space and actually jump at last in ME game, is fast and I feel joy just by moving in it. I could make a list but I think its enough. I wouldnt probably had liked the MP portion even without playing MEAMP first, thats what I guess I tried to say. Also not saying MEAMP is without its flaws, a lot of things were done better by Anthem but even Interceptor is much heavier than Asari Sentinel though can evade 3x in a row I rarely play slow kits like Krogans or Colossus. <7 rant over>.
