A Cure for GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrom)


Recommended Posts

Years ago I could buy a good clean used film camera, use it for a year and trade it for something else, losing very little money. Different story with digital. Most become practically worthless in a very short time. They should be thought of as appliances.

2 solutions:

  • Enjoy trading the minority that doesn't.
  • Be the happy final consumer, paying peanuts and binning the beaters some day.

I was told a merchant makes the income during goods acquisition, not during retail.

Really? What do you do to yours? for the most part, mine function exactly the same, year after year. The fact that better ones are introduced doesn't make the old ones works less well.

I think he was talking about resale value.
