I really prefer a model where the market niche for the budget conscious is filled by second-hand high quality products. Much less waste gets produced this way, and no one has to suffer using cheap plastic crap. I do this with all the technology I own - be it cars, phones, computers, audio gear, motorcycles, sports equipment... you get the best of both worlds. Of course, in order for this to be possible, these products have to be repairable, and that's why we have to fight for it.
