If you buy these on Dhanteras, you will be bringing in bad luck instead of good. Listed below are such things that you should not buy on the eve of Dhanteras:

Iron 

Not attempting to propagate superstitions, but as per popular beliefs, one should not buy products that are made of iron on Dhanteras. Instead, you choose to bring something made of copper, brass, and silver to your homes on Diwali.

Cars 

While many buy vehicles on Dhanteras, it is advised that while you can bring the automobile to your home on this day, you should not make the payment on this day. Instead, to keep the positivity at home, the payment should be made the day before. 

Sharp objects

There is a misconception that buying any metal brings good luck on Dhanteras. So, if possible, then try to give a miss to knives, scissors, and other sharp objects a miss on your shopping spree. 

Gifts 

Though one gives out gifts on Diwali but don't buy anything on Dhanteras for other people. It is considered inauspicious to send money or precious metal like gold out of the house on this day. 

Black products 

Even though you enjoy wearing black because it makes you look attractive, the colour is not considered auspicious. People typically keep it separate from anything religious. Hence, it is not recommended to bring anything in the colour black home on Dhanteras.
