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!

Blind Group Buy

Selling something but not saying what it is and implying it might be worth the price. A way to sell something for more than it’s worth. A good of example would be doing a blind buy for a song that nobody really wants for $5k, when the most you would get for that song if it wasn't blind is $2k.

Why would people fall for this?
1. A drought of music and they'll settle for anything
2. Gambling "what if it's the song I want"
3. Retardation
"Oh boy I hope they're selling the song I want in this Blind Group Buy, I'll donate $100 and keep my fingers crossed."

Buying a monkey

A situation in which someone who has recently come into a very large sum of money goes and buys weird, unusual, or taboo things, simply because they can. The phrase itself is derived from Michael Jackson, who bought a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles in the 80's following the success of his album Thriller.
Person 1: I've just fucking won 20 million in the lottery

Person 2: Man, that's a lot of money, what are you going to buy?

Person 1: I'm buying a monkey.
