Avalon - I just saw something about miswanting, which seems to be a new word for buyer's remorse. I don't know what to tell you on how to avoid miswanting. There's a multi-billion dollar advertising industry with the sole purpose of changing demand curves. Maybe some patience and avoid being the first one on the block to buy. Listen to what your friends have to say. Above all, be cheap. Just about everyone has been suckered by hype and it's probably only a question of when it happens to me and to you. We can limit our damages with thrift, patience and common sense
