and the company's own trade up stocks.
I have been watching them on ebay, they all seem to end up going for over a grand. At that price, I would prefer to buy new, but would have to use a credit card, a serious no no.
Wish I could swing it, but as satisfying as my life and artsy career are, one of the side effects is a lower budget
. Still paying off the doctor from my bicycle accident(hit and run), along with the lost work time, so that is sort of a factor right now.
I will continue to look though, because you never know.
Another consideration for me, is that a lower cost item won't hurt as bad when it gets stolen or lost.
