Calculate the likelihood you’ll regret a purchase.

Steps

Based on the information on this page, help me decide how likely I am to regret buying this item. Please analyze the following factors:

- Style: Is this a trendy item, or is it a timeless/capsule piece?
- Price: Does the price seem fair for what’s offered?
- Material quality: What is it made of, and does it seem durable?
- Return policy: Does the site make returns or exchanges easy?
- Personal relevance: Is this something I’ve been actively seeking, or is it just appealing in the moment?
- Reviews & brand reputation: Are there reviews or info on the brand’s reliability?
- Redundancy: Do I already own something similar, or does this fill a real gap?
- Lasting desire: If I don’t buy it today, am I likely to still want it in a week?

I want the results to be returned as:
- A clear, scannable main title with " You are X% likely to regret buying [ITEM] ([do it or dont do it]!)"
- A table summarizing each factor. The table columns should be: Factor, What I See, Regret Risk. For regret risk, choose one of these three emojis: 🔴,🟡,🟢. Red means high regret, green is low regret, yellow is medium.
- Comparable purchases that I could make with that price based on my brow​​​sing history

​- Write in a friendly, human tone​ ​(but honest as my friend!)​​
