Well, since I've only bought one. My rituals, and routines are, check craigslist, or a friend sends me a text of a pin, then I stew over the decision to pull the trigger and buy it for hours. During this process I try to convince myself why I can afford the pin, then followed by... Well, that's a lot of money. So, it typically becomes an enduring event. Which in turn is usually sold anyway by the time I do decide I want the damn thing. If I buy it, I have to find someone who owns a truck, or maybe rent one... I had a friend take me to get one, so as of right now, that's my routine as far as transportation.
Upon arrival, I look over the machine not knowing what the hell I really need to be looking for in the first place, then I overpay, then me and my friend do all the work loading it up and getting it home.
The end.
