Seems highly reasonable. Nobody wants to do something for
a hobby that
they don't enjoy...
Finding bargains is, I guess, fun for most of us. We'd all
like to find
<our favourite machines> for relatively little
money.
On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with spending money
on a machine
if you will then enjoy programming/using/repairing it.
I
don't regard
that as not 'sporting'.
It's like the difference between the quaterback of the team
saying he won the superblow because he was on the field and
the owner saying he won the game because he paid the players
to do it.
