I agree. It's an extravagant purchase, but so are pricey cars, TVs, clothes, etc. Those things become worthless in a few years, while Idelias will (hopefully) only increase in value. It's pretty clear that in this hobby, only the best machines appreciate in value, while the common ones are worth less today than they were ten years ago. However, most of us are in it for the enjoyment, rather than the investment potential, of our phonographs. I must admit, I love to see phonos sell for outrageous prices, as long as I am not the buyer :)
