This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Expensive at the time
Back in the late 70's I bought a skateboard deck off "A good mate" because my old one was crap. It cost me £20; I'd saved for a couple of months. I was 15 and over the moon to own a Tony Alva (replica...).The first time I used it in earnest (half pipe) it snapped in half. No physical damage but the mental scars remain. I've never trusted anyone since (well anyone selling replica goods).
Length? 32 inch Alva.
