The one exception that jumps immediately to my mind is musical instruments. My nice acoustic guitar, if treated properly, will (hopefully) last a very long time. In the winter, it needs to be humidified to avoid cracking and buckling, here in dry, radiator-heated NYC. It is certainly the only object I own that needs this level of care, and I am not used to this. If anything my primary emotional response is anxiety - if I don't do it right, my investment will be destroyed. I too see the tendency toward even higher-priced goods becoming disposable.
