Inevitably, six months later they put it away in their garage and it is not seen again until they dig it out during a spring clean a decade later, and donate it to charity.
Or they buy and put it somewhere, then forget for a long time till it becomes nonusable. I know this from my friend. I can call it being careless rather than a hobby.
Here in Finland, buying second hand is popular - it is always good to buy 6-12 months after a trend :)
Yea, we have many web-sites of second-hand products
