I've set a price I'm prepared to pay for the guitar and unless it's at that price or below I will not get it. I've seen it at £5 more before and left it.
Same with other gear I'm after.. I have a shopping list and set prices I'm prepared to pay.
If I start regular gigging again I've allowed myself a concession on a certain guitar, but that's a bit far off atm.
It's all about disciplin!
This is the same with most stuff I want to buy, set a budget and stick to it.
But seriously, you should examine why you’re on this incessant buying treadmill. Carol Kaye used the same gear most of her life. She says that musicians should be spending more time learning their instrument and not buying them.
It’s a habit. Have you mastered new aspects of your instruments? Are you a better musician with your nice guitars? Do they inspire you to play better?
I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, and I wouldn’t listen to some anonymous numpty on a forum, but in my worthless opinion unless you really and deeply examine why you are doing what you are doing, you are doomed to repeat this endless and deeply unrewarding cycle.
Get off the treadmill. Shut up and play yer guitar(s).
Good luck!
So can you.
Sorry, but every time I look at the sentence above, I see something like:

My life is empty and meaningless - buying gear fills the vast chasm of despair within me.
Or something.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Don't go into the Classified, don't look at sales, don't look at guitar sites and even listen to demos.
I stopped 99% that now.
I remember distinctly one time I was just online, went to Brian's Guitar in the US site and 15mins later I had bought a PRS that 15mins before i didn't intend to.
Another time I was on the train home, looking through Guitar Village Boss gone mad sale and while i am on the train, I bought another PRS.
I have bought many pedals due to PGS and CME demos.
I am weak, so if there is no temptation, I won't fall for it.
Procrastination.
Every time I've wanted to buy a guitar recently, I've um-ed and ah-ed for days or weeks, watching it on eBay or a dealer website, thinking "I'll go and buy that at the weekend" or "I'll order that on Wednesday then I can take a day off on Friday for them to deliver it".
And every time someone else buys it.
Who originally said that?
Don't worry, I'll look it up tomorrow.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
