I was stupid enough to buy an item that was over 900k sP before realizing that it literally says at the top it's stocked at "Go Outside". I checked there and it was only 85k sP. >>;
I'm so mad at myself because I unnecessarily slowed down getting the last two pieces of my next planned outfit doing this.
There have been a lot of good improvements on the site and the shop search listing where you can buy an item is one of the big ones.
The other area where people can overspend millions is on transformable items. Often one version can cost a few thousand, but another costs a few million and all you need to do is buy the cheaper one and transform it into the one you want.
When I'm buying more expensive items, I often check on SubetaLodge to see if there's a cheaper alternative.
But that all takes time and sometimes you're so excited to buy a certain item that you forget all that and just go for it. I've done it too!

Gah, I had something like that happen yesterday. I had my which I was going to keep for a pet TC, then I needed doubles of the items inside, for my wardrobe and for a TC.
Both the items inside are practically worthless... 28k and 39k.
So instead of just buying those two items two times on the shop search, I bought two more of the crates at 370k each and opened them... it wasn't until afterwards I realized what a dunce I had been.
last week I did something similar with some Medi Contra gloves (10k at Medi Contra....980,000 in the user shop - someone got a really nice little surprise that day). I thought I was buying the gloves my current HA has on...only to realize I'd clicked the shop button on the wrong gloves in wardrobe.
