Well, sure - not everyone has hundreds of dollars to throw around on expensive A/V gear, despite the state of the economy. Those of us who consider this hobby a "necessity", and who may also suffer the occasional braining by a less-than-understanding wife with so many other things to spend money on, will still get by like little chipmunks greedily hording our reserve of acorns (money), as we're keeping an eye out for those B-stock items. Suffice it to say, my annual income is fairly respectable, and yet I fall into this category - many other factors to consider other than the current economic situation. Everyone always gets alarmed when the economy moves, but it is inherently unstable at best, and very unpredictable at worst - it's like the weather in Florida... if you don't like it, just wait a bit, and it will change.
