Well, I had a horrible experience buying a game from a small independent store. I paid for a limited - edition game. The store owner said it would be available in a week. After a week, they said there was a shipping delay. This went on for months. Eventually, I found out that the store had over - sold the limited - edition games and I was never going to get mine. It was a huge disappointment as I had been really looking forward to that game.
One horror story is buying a game from an untrusted online seller. I once got a game that was supposed to be brand new, but when it arrived, the disc was scratched all over. Another is when you pre - order a game and it gets delayed multiple times without proper notice. For example, I pre - ordered a highly anticipated game and it was pushed back three times, leaving me really frustrated.
A common game buying horror story is getting scammed on a second - hand game purchase. I knew someone who bought a game thinking it had all the DLC included as the seller claimed. But after paying, they found out that the DLC codes were already used. Also, there are cases where you buy a game from a store, and when you get home and try to install it, it has some sort of regional lock that wasn't clearly stated before, preventing you from playing it.
One horror story could be getting sold a car with a lot of hidden mechanical problems. The dealer promised it was in great shape, but after a few days, the engine started making strange noises and it turned out there were issues with the transmission too. Cost a fortune to fix.
There was this guy who bought a classic car from a private seller. The car looked amazing on the outside. But after a few weeks, he noticed rust starting to show up in many places. It seemed that the seller had used some kind of filler to hide the rust before selling. He also discovered that some of the parts were not original as promised, which really decreased the value of the car. This made him feel cheated and regretful about the purchase.
One horror story is when a couple bought a house without a proper inspection. After moving in, they found out the roof was leaking badly. Every time it rained, water would pour into the living room, ruining their furniture. They had to spend a large amount of money on roof repairs right away.
One common horror story is finding hidden structural issues. For example, a cracked foundation that the seller didn't disclose. It can cost thousands to repair.
Another horror story might involve disputes over land ownership. There could be local families who claim that the land on which the house is built actually belongs to them. This can lead to long and costly legal battles for the new homeowner, and in some cases, they may even end up losing the house they thought they owned.
One horror story could be buying a horse that was advertised as healthy but turned out to have a serious lameness issue. The seller hid it well during the viewing. When the new owner took it for a proper ride after purchase, the horse started limping badly.

Every time it rained, water would seep into their bedrooms and living room, ruining their furniture. It cost them a fortune to fix the roof, which they hadn't budgeted for.
One common element is misrepresentation of the horse's health. Sellers may hide illnesses or injuries. For example, a horse might have a hidden respiratory problem.
Hidden structural problems are quite common. For example, a cracked foundation that is not visible during a quick look. Another one is mold. People often move into a house and then find mold growing in the attic or basement which can be a health hazard.
