Buy Used Workstation For Trading?

Don't take offense. It was a joking comment. I'm quite sure Americans are equally stupid, you know.

What a relief! :)

I never understood why ET traders always want to buy cheap? The trading gurus from ET can spent any amount as they are all very profitable.
I buy the desktop I need and don't care about the price. I care more about the service. If I cannot trade 1 day I miss profits to buy several desktops, so the choice is easy for me.
The difference between buying the best quality and a bargain is smaller than my average daily profit. I prefer to spent my time on trading instead of losing it on finding bargains. And most traders on ET apparently make much more money then me. :confused: So they should do the same. Stay with your core business: trading and making money. Try to find bargains there!

NOT the point of the thread.

It's not necessary to "pay up" for quality hardware. Better... buy "right" and spend the savings on hookers.

I bought the specs I thought I needed and when I doubted I bought the best performing version (mostly the more expensive one). Just paid the price and asked about service (immediate repair if necessary). Anyway, prices are more or less the same no matter where you buy (the same setup). So I would never buy a "used" workstation.
Don't need money for hookers since I dumped my (ex) wife and took a new one that had the specs I thought I needed. I always use the same strategy, no matter what I want to "purchase". :cool:
Correct specs is cheaper than wrong specs + hookers.

Difficult to rationalize with those who argue the merits of "paying up when not necessary".

Same reason everyone tries to negotiate down the price of home, car, hooker... etc.

I don't agree. I want to buy cheap if we speak about real money. Not when we speak about a computer worth below 5000$. That's pocket money.
Especially if I need this computer for making money, which is my profession. I can maybe save 1-2000$. But as I had in past a bad (and expensive because of missed profits) experience with a cheaper computer, I don't take any risk anymore.

You talk like someone with big dreams... "Big hat, no cattle"*.

If you're not American, you may not get that reference. That's OK, the rest of us will.

@Mtrader, I just thought you should see an image of the type of mentality you're arguing against. Good luck!

It's inflated ego players like you who make hardware available to the rest of us at a value price. THANKS!!
