I have caught myself nearly buying things that I already have, especially when I've ordered it online and then it turns up on shelves here before I recieve my order.

I'm a bit like Jay, I document all my tfs in a spreadsheet so I don't usually have this problem. :/ I also keep a "wants list" and "ordered list" updated on my phone so I can check while I'm out. Also I can get worried if something on my ordered list isn't turning up in the mail, or CROSS IT OUT when it does arrive - it's so satisfying!

Not so much buying but with stuff in transit- several times I'll forget what I hve in transit, only to have a package turn up, open it up and go "Oh yeah, that's right, forgot that was coming".

Hehe I don't think you're the only one 1orion2many, happens to most of us here!
I sometimes look at the a TF and wonder, "Hey that looks new, have I got that yet?" But usually what helps me is that I take photo of every acquisition the moment I get home and post on my TF acquis album on photobucket. And so whenever I have doubts, I'll just check the album and have a look.
But somehow I do have a slightest memory of it if I have already gotten it. Those that I forget are usually the overseas purchases. With lay-by's you kinda can't help it. That item might already be on lay-by but if you see it cheaper elsewhere, just get it first, complete the lay-by and refund the more expensive one I guess.

With Transformers, I usually know what I have, except if I buy G1 stuff, then see sometimes I do double up. But more where my senility comes is when I buy DVDs. I keep thinking, have I got that one yet? I still don't know if I have bought Iron Man 2 yet, nearly keep picking it up when I go to the shops

I don't have the issue with TFs, unless I have intentionally bought more than 1 (Generations Scourge). However I do have this issue when it comes to DVDs and books, because I've bought it knowing it's good, and haven't got round to reading/watching it when I decide to buy it elsewhere because I know its good.
