Unfortunately, that would probably result in a back-up which, if left untreated, could evolve into "CRAAP" - Constant Retail Acquisition At Any Price".

This goes way back into the recesses of The Bottom Line in the 90s (where I sincerely believe the term GAS was coined).

Some of the responses:

Problem: GAS = Gear Acquisition Syndrome
Cures:   FART = Find a Reliable Technician
         POOT = Purchase Only Old Toys
Problem: SAG = Sell Auxiliary Gear or Sell All Gear
Cure:    LIFT = Loan it for Thirty-days

Source not clear

 If you are unsure whether you can restrain your GAS until then, FART
(Forbear Acquiring Rig Toys).
