It's good practice to see what you can come up with over a period of time. If I'm thrift shopping and I see something that might come in handy, I'll pick it up. I've acquired a lot of gear over the past few years. Often, if I come across something else even better, I'll sell or donate my older item and replace it with my new finding. It's always good to keep your stuff upgraded. Also, it's good to make sure that you set some time aside to make sure that the quality of your items have not deteriorated.
