Because I like to save few bucks and I enjoy using it, irrespective of
the most probably true statements that the hype on M2/3/4 built quality
is nonsense. If my bread earning depends on it, I would certainly go for
new stuff with official warranty etc.. (Is there an etc. for pros?)

Searching for something can be more fun than owning or (brrr) using it.
What a pity that internet made national and international shopping too
easy and too transparent.

Will I be excluded from the LUG for my coming out as part time
collector? I also them a little bit, I swear!
