what does the sentence mean: I will not take a rain check ??

I've translated an article today, and met a problem when translating this sentence: "
I will not take a rain check on the Flash Band USB, I will never buy anything that is close to resembling one of these.
" (article URL:

)
Defination- 'rain check'
A. A ticket stub entitling the holder to admission to a future event if the scheduled event is canceled because of rain.
B. An assurance to a customer that an item on sale that is sold out or out of stock may be purchased later at the sale price.
C. A promise that an unaccepted offer will be renewed in the future: declined the invitation to dinner, but asked for a rain check.
I will take a rain check. ----It means to postpone or 'let's change another day.'
But i'm still confused how to translate the first sentence,
anyone who can help me with that?

If "I will take a rain check" means to postpone or 'let's change another day.' ---- "I won't take a rain check" may refer to I won't miss it.
