Although not explicit in the OP, I (perhaps simplistically) assumed that we were talking about a market price, or at least something approximating market, maybe with a slight discount because we all love a good deal when we're buying.

True, as the OP here, that's exactly what I was curious about. If there's something you couldn't generally afford without a loan/line of credit/other terms, would you make the stretch to get it, or be content without it for the present time?
To be honest, I have made a few purchases in the past without the funds available, feeling confident that I could either acquire the funds through sales or otherwise cover the amount in a month or two tops. However, now that I'm older,
I'm far more risk averse... also, happy wife, happy life a consideration!
I'm fortunate to say my PC is all mine, nothing to pay back to anyone. not so when I was younger...
