Do you really wanna buy that?

In the videomaker article How To Buy Gear (And Not Regret It) it talks about how people might think they want something to go out and just buy it. But when it comes to video equipment it is not the best idea. The first thing someone wants to do would be Research the products that you need to get. Otherwise you might get a product that doesn’t have the full capabilities that you want it to, which in the long run can cause you to spend more money.
Another thing that the article talks about is that even though a product by one seller might be less expensive, it doesn’t mean that it is the same quality as the other products being sold at higher prices. Even though ebay says that a price of a tape can be only $0.05, doesn’t mean that the tape is going to quality!
Even though it is cheap does not mean you should buy more. Only buy the things you need, do not add additional functions to whatever products you need. Otherwise you can mess up things in the long run and spend more money then necessary.
New is not the best, But used is better. This is because sometimes when you have a used product it means that the functions have already been figured out, and guaranteed that they will work. As well as used is normally a lot cheaper than a brand spankin’ new one.
Calm down and wait. You know you need to buy a certain product for your equipment, but if you wait a while after figuring out what you need and compare the prices that you have researched, you can find the best product for you for the best price.
Overall people need to take some serious time into researching the products that they need, and not just immediately buy the biggest and flashiest think that they see for a decent price.
