It is a good thing Joseph, that you do not collect fine and rare books
or autographed letters and manuscripts.  Now, about that previously
owned Bugatti Royalle...

Secondly and more importantly, I would never buy used
if the same is available new.  The same applies not only to photo
equipment,
but also to cars, fine watches and just about everything.  I find it
very
hard to accept something that has been used, fondled and possessed by
someone else.  The only exception is when the item in question is no
longer
available new.  In such case I would only consider 'new-old-stock',
followed
by LNIB, MIB and as a severe compromise, 'mint-'.

Perhaps I need to see a shrink, but then I did not marry a divorcee
either.
