Sure I am glad I paid for my two dynamos + two set of Busch & Muller from and rear lights. That is money well spent if you ask me. But paying $40 for a seat post? or $50 for replacing cable for the rear break, which I did a while back and that didn't even include new casing for the cable because the old was reused.
$ 40.00 for a seat post? How much should one cost? You can spend 20 or 200. Or buy used. Or just HTFU and stand all the way. I spent $75.00 for a thompson seat post. With awesome micro adjust. It will outlast the bike. Worth it to me. And learn to do your own work. I painted my house last year. Got quotes of 5-7K. Bought a 2.5 K mt bike. So I saved 3K, plus she likes the color. Just depends how you look at things I guess. And I still drive my 99 corolla. I know people who get a new car every year or two.
