My rule too. I use a 2% back credit card for all larger purchases (got a new refrigerator 2 months ago) from which I harvested 2K a month ago for my new first ZMF - cocobolo ZMF Atrium Open Rarity. if I need it there's another 700 saved on the card from prior purchases. All audio purchases use that card and all the $ that accumulates over time goes into audio. And I never use any credit card unless I already have the cash on hand to pay for it. I haven't paid interest on a card in almost 30 years (yeah, older dude). Instead I get paid to use my credit cards. Try it, it is very freeing.
Speaking of the select builds, I am still dreaming of the African Blackwood AO. But then I ask myself, hey what will you do with 3 AOs? Pretty sure I'll convince myself of a reason.
I always use a credit card for large purchases. It provides insurance / protection etc if anything was to go wrong and secondly, I receive cash back for each £1 spent. That can be a reasonable chunk when buying expensive audio gear . Mind you, I clear my balance each month so that cash back is money earned. If you don't, then it will cost you more in interest than you make from the cash back... which I like to avoid at all costs.
Same here in the US. I get 2% cash back on all purchases, don't buy unless I already have the cash on hand and always clear all balances in the current billing cycle. The pay me to use the card. Cash accumulated on that card bought me my first ZMF this year - a cocobolo Atrium Open Rarity.

I snagged my first ZMF and 1st choice Atrium Open in the B-Stock drop this year. From what I just read in this thread the Rarity sets in B Stock are A stock but come with the reduced accessories. Not enough wood for a full fun, etc.
Look back to post # 1,461 where the poster gives a rundown on details all the different offerings in the B-Stock sale for the quote in full. (Sorry I haven't figured how to insert the relevant quote in full. Can anyone help me on how to do this?)
Part of what was stated is this:
Oh and also Rarity headphones are A Stock. But come with a B Stock kit of accessories I believe.
