I agree that this is not a legitimate thing over which to become angry,
but there is an issue that this is driving the prices up, out of reach of
people who can handle these machines, and into the reach of people who
want to encase them in plastic and put them into their 500 sq.ft. living
room. This is causing some hostility.
Hi
I think the plastic encase ones are quite rare. It is possible
that some are buying as investments, some are buying to protect,
some are buying as a hobby and some are buying for what ever
reason. I just think that anyone that pays the silly prices
I see on eBay for some of this stuff must really value it.
In these cases, I would suspect that for the most part they
are going to a safe home.
I would rather that the prices were less and more in the range
that I'd pay but I consider most pricing on eBay to be
early surge. In a couple years, things will settle down
to the real world ( except for those really valuable items ).
Like I said, I doubt these people are just buying these things
to spray paint them, green and red, to use as lawn ornaments.
