S01E05: New, Used and Abused 3 Sad Bastards

    • Hobbies

You're about to hit "buy" on that listing you've been watching for the last few days... but secretly want to go to the local hifi store, sit and listen for the afternoon, and take something new back home with you. Good Bastard says "Buy the used item, you can always flog it", Bad Bastard says "Go with new, it has a warranty."  The result is a Sad Bastard, because both options are great!

The 3 Sad Bastards tell it how it is - when it makes sense to buy new, the pitfalls of used, and how to avoid the abused items that will waste your time (present podcast excluded).
