Is this considered rude?

I actually love to brag about how much I paid for something- or I should say, how LITTLE I paid for it!

Then go on to explain how the junkyards and swapmeets are full of trick stuff (if you know where to look) that can be cleaned up/rebuilt/adapted to look and work 90% as well as new stuff for 10% of the cost. Just takes a little thought, time, and effort.:glasses7:
