Using tragedy for gain..
This is totally my fault for not asking....
He's been depressed all week over my SIL's health. So when he called me & sounded a little happy, he happened to be standing in front of Murphy's Music. He said "Hey! I'm so happy...(huh??)..they have the amp I was outbid on ebay. What do you think?" So without hesitation, I say "Sure...go ahead. If it will make you happy."
So when he came home, I said "Oh how much did that cost? $800?" Nooooo....I was off by 3x the amount! 
Next bad thing that happens, I'll be calling him from Tourneau.

Re: Using tragedy for gain..
Oh MY!
What kind of Amp was it? The most expensive Amp DH has bought so far was just about $500 .... but he doesn't have a band or anything --- he just plays in the house and occasionally with friends.

I would tell him that the thing better make him sound better than any Stones AND Beatles performance combined and #1 record better be in the works.
DH has an off-white one too but I doubt it costs anywhere near that much. DH is a musician too but he's not addicted to equipment.
I'm thinking he could have gotten a much better deal elsewhere.

Not a chance I'm going to tell him to return it with his sister on life support. I just think his timing was impeccable when he asked.

Re: Using tragedy for gain..
My Dh plays guitar and all of the "accessories" are astronomically priced.
If you guys can swing it and it makes him happy, why not? I do agree with calling him from Turneau next time or maybe Tiffany's

Re: Using tragedy for gain..
Wow I would be so mad!!!! If my DH bought something that expensive with out full detail I would kill him and he would be returning it. For that kind of money spent it should be something useful for everyone....furniture, a home improvement, a vacation, etc...

Re: Using tragedy for gain..
I know I shop when I am sad...if this makes him feel better, I would probably eat it. I did when his sister messed with us when I got PG, he got $500 Bose speakers out of it...
to you and your DH, I know you're going through a lot.

OMG 
I had no idea it was that bad.
ETA: You know I'm not into extravagance... Ten years ago when an ex-BF crushed my heart and lit it on fire I went to Fortunoff's and bought myself a ridiculously expensive watch... about 3 weeks pay. I really was a MESS emotionally. I wore the thing for about four days... I swear I think it cost more than nearly everything else I owned put together at the time... then I must have snapped out of it and said to myself... "Where do you think you are going with a watch like that, T?" I returned it and got my money back.
When life throws us a big blow, temporary moments of insanity are somewhat expected
