I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

In my experience... computer mice.

I can pay 80 dollars for a gaming mouse that dies in 6 months or I can buy a 7 dollar walmart mouse that dies in a year. Realistically how your mouse settings are configured matters more than the type of mouse you have and I have had bad experiences with more expensive mice dying under the strain I put them through. i.e usually the middle mouse wheel/button dies first because I use it A LOT. And if the damn thing is going to die in 6 months to a year anyway I may as well buy them in 6 packs and not bother throwing 10+ times tge money at them.

You're buying shitty mice. Get a Logitech and never buy another mouse again.
