Perfect example of you dropping dollars to pick up pennies.

As soon as I get a digital camera or smartphone I can start selling the silver and take my profit.

(eBay 's software literally will not allow a listing without an image of the item, I've tried it.)
Buy the phone. I KNOW YOU WON'T, THOUGH.

More of a rant about my particular situation which included a family member who gets Starbucks daily yet tried to guilt trip me on my $6.00/lbs bags of whole bean coffee (literally said, wow this is good, I wish I made enough to drink this everyday (?!?&*****&! it's a quarter a cup)).

And when I vented about this to a friend they went bleeding heart on me like I'm a bad guy for not understanding why my relatives deserve their luxury.

Need more information to decide which device to buy, e.g. smartphone or digital camera, and then specifically, which brand / model. All I know for sure right now is I'm not buying a Galaxy 7.
