(I see it won't let me display the word "*******ry". I was referring the fathering of children out of wedlock.)

True, top-quality gear will hold its value better (and in the case of Astro Physics, command a paradoxical premium over the new price because you're avoiding the wait list).

But even a brand new car will lose $000s in value the moment you drive it onto the street. I don't expect to pay anything like as much for an unused Lamborghini, if I'm not buying it from a registered dealer. Sorry, just my psychology I guess.

Anyway, I reckon Ric nailed it with his advice...

Gotta go, the Nagler has got me by the neck...
