Give me a good reason not to buy my buddy the $400.00 scanner he's had his eye on
The cost isn't something that would cripple me, and I want to do something nice for the guy, but I worry that I'm being irresponsible.
is he really that good of a friend? are you seeking his approval?
because you're asking anonymous people on the internet for reasons not to rather than just doing it
Get it for his birthday so you don't seem creepy
