Kind of the reason why I don't really spend money on watches even though they hold their value better than my other hobby of bespoke clothes and shoes. At least with the bespoke stuff, the cutters/shoemakers aren't going to tell me to bundle purchases or treat me like sh1t.
It's not an issue so long as you like what you're buying in order to get access to what you really want. I've purchased art in part to start a relationship with a gallery for future transactions. I like the art I've bought and the possibility of additional purchases (not of a particular piece or artists) is a factor, but not the deciding one.I heard recently that a few women are suing Hermes because sales associates suggested if they bundled purchases or buy a bunch of slow selling items to build a buying history/relationship, they will be able to get a Birkin. They bought a bunch of stuff they didn't want and still don't have Birkins. What a bunch of idiots!
