Buying gear

As a musician and drummer! i always have my eye open for a nice piece of equipment. I recently sold some studio equipment i no longer used, a couple of Focusrite compressors, to help fund the purchase of a new snare drum that was very cheap. I bought a 1968 Ajax Nu Sound kit a couple of months ago, 3 piece. Sounds and looks amazing. The matching snare drum was being sold by someone a couple of days ago, £100, couldn't afford it but i had to have it. It will complete the kit to its full 1968 glory and sound fantastic. How many other musicians do this? i feel the majority! But i'd love to know if there are some who get what they want, are happy with it and don't amass more gear.
