I can buy you once but I can sell you twice

Something that you buy once but sell twice therefore deems the item worthless. It’s one of the harshest insults you can give somebody.

Buy cheap, buy twice

When you see two identical products in the shop, one is expensive but made by a well known company and the other is by a brand you've never heard of but is considerably cheaper!

It comes from the fact that most cheap knocks are of poor quality and as a result it'll probably break shortly after buying meaning you'll have to buy another one. Usually when you add the price for the first and the replacement item together, it would've been cheaper to buy the better branded item in the first place.
Steve: Oh my god dude, I bought a new TV three months ago and it's already broken!

Peter: Bugger, that sucks, I'm surprised that Sony TV broke so quickly.

Steve: No, I changed my mind and didn't get the Sony. I found this Gujarati Electronics one which was a lot cheaper so I got that instead!

Peter: Gujarati Electronics? Never heard of them! You know what they say mate, buy cheap, buy twice! Shoulda stuck with the Sony!
