I have Peugeot salt and pepper shakers with C Record but rim breaks. They were a gift, so I don’t know what they costed.

I also have a cool Park Tool pizza cutter, it works great, but takes up a lot of drawer space. It was a gift.

If that mug had ambushed me with a $50 price tag there would've been no hesitation: "Whoa. Yeah, didn't realize. Let's go ahead and cancel that one out, sorry about that."
No harm, no foul.

It is a nice tool, along with the Decade chain tool...expensive but quality in the hands even someone who knows nothing about bicycles but understands good tools put the Decade in their hands and loved it. Plus the HAG is cheaper than the EVT tool so you are already saving $400 there.

I got my Abby HAG tool at Sea Otter when my wife made the mistake of making me wait a half hour by the Abby Tool display. It was my birthday, and since no one else seems to know what present to get, I took the initiative. When I told them my sob story, they threw in a silicon pint beer glass for free.

Buyers remorse always involves a bit of being unreasonable. It starts with the purchase.

Must be symmetrical
It's kind of ironic that they command high life style prices now. I've encountered them mostly in this form (and the set costs $55!) on camping trips:

bummer you went 0 for 2 at the shop OP. I feel for you. The campy cup would look great hanging from a dongle on a bag for an all-day outing or camping trip, or just relegate it to room temp beverages.
hope you receive some satisfaction from the pedal breaking.

I understand wanting to throw the local shop a bone in buying the cup. On that one, I'd accept the loss and move on.
I'd be inclined to go back to the shop and see if they have the part that broke on the pedal. They might appreciate the opportunity to make it right. If nothing else, it brings it to their attention and gives them some options.

Metal cups were the only option for like cowboys in the 1800's that needed an unbreakable cup. Now they are just delightfully terrible - even for camping. They can't keep anything hot or cold, and you burn your lips, you freeze your lips, you burn your hand, you freeze your hand.

I would fill your cup with a nice Italian red wine and chalk it up to life experience - then take the pedal/s back to the lbs.

Enameled metal cups are the best for drinking milk. Pedals were take-offs? You mean used? I'd return those, or at least take them back. perhaps they have replacement parts in a bin somewhere.

"Take-off" usually refers to items that a new bike purchaser doesn't want or need, such as saddles and pedals: installed on a bike but still new. Dealers take the original item off the bike and sell it, sometimes at a discount. Some shops keep a box full of take-off saddles from new bikes, selling them for maybe 15 or 20 bucks each.
