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.

I had a pair of leather sole dress shoes. I wore the soles out enough and had them re-soled with rubber. Best solution ever

Incidentally we have the word "revamped" meaning renewed. That comes from shoe repair, where the vamp of the shoe is replaced
