There are (at least) three types of people on this list: - those who take pride in what they build - those who take pride in what they operate - those who take pride in both
Count me in the third category. I thoroughly enjoyed the building process, and have no fear of having to dig into my K2 if I need to fix it. In fact, I had to fix it about 3-4 weeks after I finished it succesfully because my PLL crystal was flaking out. It is my only HF transceiver, and will continue to remain so until Elecraft releases something even better. Would I ever part with my K2? No - because I built it (I happen to be attached to #3421). Unless I was in dire financial need, I doubt I'd sell it, because it is about the cheapest form of active 'entertainment' I own. When I bought the K2, it was with the intention of it being my only radio for a very long time - and it can go just about anywhere I need to go - home, car-camping, picnic table portable - and it is an ideal field day radio (my favorite activity).
