    Not gonna buy anything more for a year (Time Sensitive)

    Hahaha. Love when this happens. Instead of getting upset, buy a couple, wait for the sale to end, split the solo from the camera and sell them off at a small discount in January. Little bit of work but you can probably fully pay for a good chunk of the initial purchase for the effort.
