They tire quickly of their new toy without giving it a fair shot but not without first complaining of its inadequacies. Then on to trash a new toy. Both in name and in garbage: or pawn shop or dealer shelve. Some of the people who I know trash in further by making sure to not get a reasonable trade in value for it. It's as if even the money they spent on it was beneath contempt. It becomes a money game. The real toy is playing with money. Mark Rabiner
