The only thing I buy at full price is fuel for my car, since I have no 
choice there. And Belgian beer of course. 
But here we are talking essential commodities.

I like to be one generation behind, so now that the M10 is out I will buy an 
M9 when I can get one for 2000 Euro or less. When the M11 comes out in a few 
years, I shall consider the M10. Etc.

Cheers,
Nathan
