I'm just starting my training and have been looking at equipment to buy once I'm done and ready to go on my own. While buying all brand new gear isnt going to kill me money wise the logical (and cheaper) side of me says whatever i buy now, be it new or used, will probably be traded out once i get some hours under me and am trying new things so i should just get things that have already depreciated. Of course its easier to buy new and probably the safer option too.
Being new i also have the disadvantage of not really knowing what im buying either way so i would have to rely on the seller or dealer.
So whats the general consensus when buying your first rig? Always new stuff or go used then upgrade when you know what you really want?
