Caveat Emptor !
If you're a 'fresh fish', ALWAYS ask an 'old hand' about a purchase. Yes, we are being picky; we don't want you to look an idiot or to waste your hard-earned cash on something that you would have to replace anyway. Remember, buying the 'good stuff' may seem expensive, but it will last better, will make you feel good wearing or using it, and will command a good resale price if you ever need to sell it.
