A week ago I was in Medellín and I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I'm in another city I usually walk around machine shops to see “what's new or strange”; To be honest, I do it more to see how the market is and I was surprised to see that what all the machine sellers say is true: a market saturated with products that rotate every six months and that become obsolete with the arrival of a better machine. in the place next door.

That is why international sellers prefer the mountain capital to do their launches and garage sales.

The paisas (name given in Colombia to people born in Medellin) fell into the consumerist trap that ultimately makes them work for companies that offer two-year loans, prices in dollars that “since it is on credit they don't feel like it,” but that perversely end up leading the operator into a vicious circle where they end up quota number 16 out of 24 and production has fallen so much that they must update a new game for a price sometimes of 3rd PART OF THE VALUE OF THE EQUIPMENT.

I saw in Medellín that in the most "perrata" place - as the Paisas say -, one can find in a corner state-of-the-art machines that no one seems to play, but that make their owners feel the happiest because they are fashionable and the They make you feel first world.

Possibly some fell into the trap, due to arguments; But without a doubt the Paisa operators have been getting on this train that finally ends up reducing their profits at the end of the year.

Updating equipment is very important but do the math so you don't pay the price later. Could it be that many operators have not realized that there are more economical ways to decorate their living room?
