Got wasted one night and blasted off $4800 for a Jeep 700 miles away on E-Bay. Probably more dumb than impulsive though.

I too have bought a Porsche impulsively on E bay. Put a stupid low bid down, and a few days later , damnit, another project , then had to figure out how to get it from Utah, to Pa. I wont be doing that again. Although , it was a good deal, and I made out nicely in the long run.

I've spent thousands at Amazon or on eBay on a single purchase, but I wouldn't call them impulsive. They were all carefully planned, budgeted for, and discussed with the spouse.
I've probably spent maybe $50 tops, impulsively online. I keep spreadsheets of things I intend to buy online... At one point my "intended purchases at Pelican" spreadsheet topped $17,000. I don't think I ever ended spending that much...maybe half. I don't want to know.
