I never buy high end stuff. I mean never. I dont believe in throwing money at something until its good - i believe in putting in the effort to tinker, modify and collecting little bits and pieces to put together a great, personalized device, while enjoying the process.
The fact is, with the explosion of rebuildables and mechanicals lately, top quality can be had for very cheap, and it will only get cheaper once China jumps into the ring. Matter of fact, its already started.
I only buy cheap mechs from the classies - sometimes people get them from CoOps and dont have use for them so they go for pretty cheap. Some other stuff like a bottle of juice at wrong nic level, but thats it.
High end units are usually very rare and expensive. Most of them are not mass produced but rather made by a small business. Like a Caravela, Chi-You, iHybrids, other hybrids like Juggernauts, and many others. Maybe Zens stuff, but everyone has a Zen at this point it doesnt seem so hot any more.
