   i dislike build guides that rely on used goods.
   
   i saw one this week that is like "how to make a cheap camera rig!" and the guy is buying vintage lenses.
   
   :blobcatez: its cool that you found that, but it's not really reliable.

     @Jazzy_Butts i have no problem with and endorse buying stuff used. i have gotten things i really had no business owning through ebay.
     
     i just don't like when someone is making a video like "look at my sub-2000$ camera rig!" and the cornerstone of the build is that he was able to get a leica for 50$ or something.

     @icedquinn I like upcycling but I understand your viewpoint, if I was building something I wouldn't want one of the components to be a hard to find or irregular/non replicatable parts.

     @Jazzy_Butts like i have some neat yealink phones and i used a thonkpad, but it's not really sustainable to "hey buy all these T420s for your business they're cheap!" because like. we're going to run out of those. they aren't being made.
