When I buy anything like this I really don't worry about "asset depreciation"...I buy things like this with a clear cut plan on what I need the given machine to do. Be it a car, truck, bike, gun, tractor.....
I usually buy once and buy right. Some of the collector guns I own took me over 5 years to find the right one. Others came up sure, and I had a chance to buy and sell and trade...but that is just such a hassle, even with C&R type stuff.
Old machines are fun, but as I get older I don't want to fool with them any longer. Same with the classic cars, I just don't want to mess with them. I would rather just hop in and go for a ride. Sure nothing looks as cool, but it is just sitting there.....be so much more fun to actually drive the thing and have AC, radio, and cup holders.
