Re: Buy "almost new", sell older
Yep. That was exactly my point.
If my own pleasure in owning and using something is irrational, what is a rational reason to own something?
Well, anything you actually need. A hammer is a rational purchase if you need to drive nails into something, and you don't have a hammer. But buying a carbon-fibre-handled molybdenum-alloy-headed designer hammer for six times the cost of a regular one is probably not a rational decision: both will drive nails equally well.
I'm not saying irrational purchase are bad, just that we should be a little more honest with ourselves when we're doing it.
