I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Games on Steam sales.

I bought so many games on sale after I got my first grown-up job, that just ended up sitting in my library while I played the same 3 games. I bought a Steam Deck 6 months ago and it's been great for clearing out my backlog. I love being able to play games sitting in the recliner instead of at a desk.

Using the Steam refund system more actively has helped me a lot in this regard. At this point I refund about 80% of my purchases - simply because a lot of the games do not engage me after the first 40 minutes.
