Response:  Thirty?  Who are you kidding?  Just wait until another auction comes up.  Or the year that swarms are everywhere.  Or someone else says, "Say, how about putting some hives on my place?"
Been there, done that, couldn't stop at 30!  
As for buying what you thought you need, I generally open the newly arrived catalog, not to see what I need but rather what I don't have.
All the best,
