How I bought a bum load of travel tech without selling my underwear on the internet

Mainly I just wanted to make a joke about butts that would complement my reference to the online panty-sniffing industry. Also, here is how to buy nice things on the internet without paying full price.

Buy used. That’s it. End of article. People sell things they don’t need anymore, and they happened to take very good care of those things while they had them. If you need a piece of technology, odds are, somebody is trying to sell it right now on Facebook Marketplace. Tech companies are upgrading their tablets, phones, computers, headphones, smart watches, and cameras faster than I can get my puppy to actually poop outside. Consumers now buy things to prepare to upgrade within 3 years or less.

Travel Cameras: Sell your DSLR to a sea witch & invest in a mirrorless camera

You do NOT have time to pay for an extra bag just because your fucking camera is the size of a pregnant Labrador retriever. Time to switch.
