Things I have had to buy multiple times because I bought the wrong thing were probably rotors for my touring bike. I went with TRP but really wanted the XT Ice-Techs so I ended up buying them when I did the last big tune on my touring bike. Beyond that I haven't really done much buying twice. I tend to agonize over parts for a while and make sure I am getting the right stuff.
I did once buy another set of eeBrakes from Cane Creek but really the only reason for that was it was the limited edition and it matched the bike more and I just had to have them for pure vanity reasons and because I am dumb with money. I did use the other calipers on my Langster so it all worked out.
Saddles are always something to buy and try. I took me some time landing on my current favorite the Brooks C17 Cambium Carved some saddles were given to me and some I did buy but once I tried the C17 carved I was set and bought a bunch more.
