This seems like a terrible reason to NOT buy something. If "the crowd" likes or endorses a particular product, there is a reason, and it is almost never because that product sucks. Personally, I could not care less about how many other people have a certain product, or do not have it. I base my choices on a product's merits. As a general rule, crowd popularity, although by itself not the deciding factor, is a great starting point. Harley Davidsons and Glocks are both superb products at the top of their respective games. To rule out owning either one because "everybody already has one" would be your own loss.
