Re: expensive gear
I try to remember a few things that give context to the discussion.
1. By definition, most of us have failed to make it into the 1%, or even into the top 5%. We have no conception of their decision making process. 2. Their fortunes finance our equivalent of the space program, hence many of the incredible toys that trickledown to larger (if not mass) markets.
3. People are apparently buying the stuff—new and used—at these prices. Until they adjust their behavior the situation will sit.
4. Look for big changes everywhere by the holidays.
