Almost never, unless it is a new product that was not available at the
time of original purchase.
I do my research, analysis, comparison shopping, etc. /before/ I buy.
Saves a lot of mistakes and regrets. <smile>
For instance, I spent about 6 months researching my purchase of an ALL
BANDS transceiver in 2016. I chose the Elecraft K3s because overall, it
was the best made, performing, supported transceiver line on the planet.
I arrived at that position after a great deal of research, demos, etc,
etc. THEN, I spent hours studying the assembly and ops manuals. Etc,
etc, et al. ad nauseum.
I am very deliberate in my decision-making.
Be well!

So, just asking.... do you ever compare what you buy against a competitor's
products?
