The various comments you guys are making go a long way in demonstrating how perception comes into play. If we perceive the value to be true, then it is worthy of obtaining. That is why some people wear a Rolex and some wear a Timex...even thought they both pretty much do the same thing. I've got a friend who, every time he's at my house and sees the 15-20 various rods and reels that I have in racks in my garage, makes a comment that he can catch the same fish that I can, but using his $25 Wally World rod and reel combo. I tell him that this may be true on any given day, but I sure do have alot more confidence and feel much better about myself by doing it my way! Having said that, I do have to agree with Eric on this one...In other words, I don't perceive the value in the Yellowfin.

Go buy a Timex and where it for a year and try to sell it see how much you get. Then go buy a Rolex where it for a year then turn around and sell it and what you get.

| Seminolewind, Now why would I want to go and sell a Timex watch?  Seriously, I understand your point, but it's not relevant to my post. One could go back and forth and justify "why" or "why not" to spend the $$$. (I have a wife -- I understand the concept of justification very well! JK) Simply, it's not important enough to me (regardless of resale value) to spend that kind of jack on a Yellowfin.
