I have long wondered about these threads that are always popping up here on DW.
My question is this.
What makes someone think that someone else can pick out their kit for them better than they can choose one for themselves?
When I see a kit that I like, I know it!
I think about it for a while. Days, weeks, or perhaps months...
When and if I feel comfortable and ready to purchase the new kit I buy it! Or perhaps not as the case may be.
I never need to ask others if it is OK for me to purchase what I have already decided that I like.
I don't even care if others don't like what I like.
Im the one that has to play it. Not them.
Is this a psychological thing? Some people need the approval of others to feel confident about their purchase?
40 years ago I bought my first kit. I looked in a local bargain ad paper. I looked at several used kits that I was interested in. I found a mid 60's Slingerland kit that I liked that fit my budget and I bought it. Simple right?
I have owned numerous kits since then, some new, some used. I bought them all the same way. without help from others.
