Well said Jan...this is why I always try to buy used, and when possible, buy
broken and bring back to a useable state. Used cars, used cameras, used
clothes (jackets and the like), used electronics...it's easy on my wallet
and easier on the environment. I'm no green warrior, but I try to do my
part.
