Is it normal for someone to want an item a lot! And they keep thinking about it and looking it up but after a week they stop caring and no longer want it?
My brother wanted a custom gold bike and he looked it up and decided exactly how he wanted it everyday but then a week later he didn't want it anymore..?!
is it normal to want something just for a short amount of time?

    I do this all the time. Whatever I want, I hold off buying it for about two weeks to a month. After that time, half the stuff I wanted, I don't want any more so it would have been in impulse buy that got shoved to the back of a cupboard.

    I held off buying a tablet PC for two months and, when I still wanted one more than ever, I went for it. I love it to little pieces. And when my mobile broadband dongle plugged in and just started working with no driver, I loved it even more.

    I do that too. I make plans of what I want to buy and what I'll do with it and get excited about it. then one of 2 things happen. I realize it's something pointless that I don't need and would be a waste of money. or I spend my money on it, and realize how pointless it is after.

    well if you rally really want it then you will want it until you get it and if you don't want it after a week then you never wanted it.

    Yeah, I think it partly has something to do with advertising and how it affects people on a subliminal level. I have gotten a few things on impulse before. I try not to do it anymore, but I'm sure I would do it more often if I had more money...
