How old is too old?


I'm not having any issues at the moment, but I'm thinking I will have to buy 1 more sacd player before I check out. I almost always buy used. So my question how old is too old? I see some interesting things that I would love to have, but many are 10 to 20+ years old. Thoughts?

When do you think you’re going to check out? 20 years to go and buying 20 year old equipment equates to 40 year old equipment on the backend. Buying anything mechanical is always a risk.

From what you said, I think I have hearing similar to yours. I'm 72, almost 73. I drink about 10 cups of coffee a day (always black). That's about a third of what I used to drink. Are you telling me that my coffee habit is causing the white noise that I hear? FM. I sure would hate to give up coffee but if the noise would go away, it might be worth it. 

"before I check out"?

Either you posted this question from your hotel room or the question relates to your own personal "end game".

I know how you feel. Last week, I was discussing whether to buy a new set of golf clubs and I referred to them as my "last set of clubs".

Isn't getting old great. Lol.

 

I’d say by 75 you might as well throw in the towel.

I golf with a guy who is 79. He shot 76 a few weeks ago, and still has plenty of good moving parts. I’d say he is good for a few years yet.
