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?
