That's a bad analogy unless the only part of the hobby which is
interesting to you is tracking down bargains. The amount of money that it
cost me to get a machine doesn't affect the amount of enjoyment I get from
using it. I'm sure the superbowl manager doesn't think "we won on paper,
but it doesn't _really_ count because the players didn't play for free".

On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with
spending money
on a machine if you will then enjoy programming/using/repairing it.
It's like
the difference between the quaterback of the team
saying he won the superblow because he was on the field and
the owner saying he won the game because he paid the players
to do it.
