So does this mean you should hoard everything you have until the price goes up? I
don't have a crystal ball to tell you what is the next item of value. Who knew that a
movie about the Tucker automobile would make a Tucker one of the most desirable cars to a
rare car collector.
Nice post, but not everyone is in to old
computers for future potential
investment value. The thought never
even occurred to me when I was acquiring
the machines I have, I don't care what
their value is or becomes, and the sight
of hoarders doing so to hit upon some
jackpot kind sickens my stomach. I just
have a severe aversion to all forms of
greed.
The fact that a friggin' *movie* raises
the value of something, also really irks
me. How did movies ever become the
be-all, end-all?
I'm sure others are irked as well by the
intrusions of greed or irrationality
into what can otherwise be a pure,
unadulterated, hobby. Isn't it funny
that the word "adult" is used in
"adulterated" -- as if the notion of
adulthood renders things impure. Well,
in this case, certain forms of adulthood
do due render this hobby impure.
