This is a question Waste of money

I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.

Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

Dr Who VHS
In the years before DVD I collected Doctor Who videos. At various conventions I paid vast amounts for rarities, e.g.:

Doctor Who and the Silurians for £70
The War Games for £55
The Dalek Invasion of Earth for £60

I completed my collection in 2003 with a copy of Invasion of the Dinosaurs - the last full story to be released on VHS - signed by Lis Sladen (thanks to a mate in Forbidden Planet).

Seemed a good investment at the time - collectors' items etc - but no-one wants to buy them now, not even the dribbliest of menks.

Have replaced most of them on DVD now and will probably have to give them to charity shops (except the signed ones, obviously, may still be able to flog those), but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.
