Wouldn't you have to buy one to try it out for two weeks?

How long?

Buying a week or less isn't worth the damage to the economy.

For $80k I could probably hire someone for a few months to discover one for me. Why would I buy one on the open market if that's the case? As a bonus, hiring someone may produce more than one 0day.

Thinking the same thing. I could always buy it and use it for two months and if I don't like it I can sell it for nearly the price I paid for it. Probably will sell for at most $50 less and just think of it as a "rental fee".

Why don't you just buy the damn thing ?

What if you only just bought it?

I'll wait and see the outcome of the device based on reviews, and then decide how I feel about it, and whether or not I should buy one or not. I've got a bit of time till my 2 year contract ends.

And if someone needs one this week instead of waiting 2-3 weeks, then they're free to spend $300. Otherwise the seller is just playing to buyer's stupidity. Oh well.

Why don't you buy it?

mhb | karma 38136 | avg karma 5.79 · | 2010-12-31 17:41:51

So why not wait a few months and buy one?

marclou | karma 407 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2023-08-31 08:08:53

if the weekend project has a buy button and a product, yes

wnevets | karma 8533 | avg karma 2.9 · | 2014-01-29 18:28:59+00:00

That is only if people buy the thing.

CydeWeys | karma 28315 | avg karma 3.91 · | 2019-02-20 12:36:48

You can definitely afford one in a few days.

bru | karma 1181 | avg karma 6.95 · | 2023-01-02 05:02:17

There's new units on sale every week. Alternatively, buy a second-hand one.

Can I actually buy this gadget already?

sevagh | karma 977 | avg karma 2.26 · | 2024-05-14 12:35:43

Because you'll buy one regardless.

karmasimida | karma 1537 | avg karma 1.87 · | 2022-09-21 14:04:24

Well you can always test the market, it won't hurt anyway.

BlueTemplar | karma 2807 | avg karma 0.63 · | 2020-11-02 21:21:14+00:00

You have to buy it first.

mmaunder | karma 15550 | avg karma 7.47 · | 2010-05-04 01:52:31+00:00

...but if you aren't back here in a week buying something else we just might.

selectodude | karma 6653 | avg karma 2.78 · | 2014-03-24 19:35:39+00:00

I mean, they're letting you buy the damn thing, so once you purchase it, you can see if it holds up.
