Well, buying low quality lenses has an unpleasant side effect of being unable to get rid of them once you grow sick of 'em or feel the need to upgrade. Unless you sell them for peanuts, of course - happened to me a couple of times.

Well, even if so, the pain is generally weak. I've sold lots of low-grade lenses over the years, and yes, you do lose a few bucks, maybe up to 25% of the new price, but in absolute terms, that's still quite little. What hurts much more is the depreciation of pro-grade lenses, where 25% of the new price do hurt a bunch! Just MHO.
