Big fan of Parts Per Thousand. I love that the people here don’t just automatically push-push-push to buy new things just because they are new. It doesn’t have that traditional influencer feel of just trying to sell me something.

Your second-hand calculator suggested I was probably impulse buying and told me to go writes some reviews to engage with the hobby instead.
I really needed to hear that!

This calculator has saved my ass from two separate impulse buys. I can always convince myself I’m getting a good deal but it brings me back to reality.
