Hmm, some instantly regretted purchases:
Hamanuptra (Egyptian Adventures) -- not what I was expecting
with apologies to Wulf -- Grim Tales -- I read through it, and then just set it in my "to sell" pile. Could not see what the big deal was.
Black Company -- I don't even know why I bought it, I think I had heard some good stuff about the magic system, which turned out to be clunkier than expected -- and I don't know a thing about the novels.

Gamma World D20. Poor execution in every regard. I started off using bits and pieces, but thanks to RPGObjects, D20 Future, D20 Apocalypse, and a few other products, there's no reason for me to even look to that book. I was really looking foward to it...

My boyfriend bought The Rings of Power book - not well done at all.
But my personal most disappointing book was the Book of Challenges. Usually I can find uses for most things (I even found things to use in MMIV and that took some digging), but I really didn't like any of the encounters in it.
Now, if we're talking books that I actually like, but have yet to use, that's another story entirely.

Races of Stone and the Planar Handbook.
I bought these two together, so was seriously unhappy when I realised what a pile of poop they were (YMMV of course
). Up to that point I was a serial buyer of WotC books (D&D), but became a lot more picky after that. Now I only buy the things that interest me.

WoTC made: Psionic Handbook.
Non-WoTC: I've got way too many RPG books that I will never use. So if I could classify anything not written for D&D, Warhammer, Palladium, GURPS, L5R, or Star Wars that I own (and that still leaves me with quite a few books), then I would say that was the biggest waste of money.
