Why?  What is illogical about that thinking?  When you see something that you
like, do you think "gee, that's cool-- I'd like to have that-- but I wonder how
much money I can get back for it at some point in the future if I decided to
sell it?"  The value of hobbies is the pursuit of the hobby, not the theoretical
future depreciated value of the subject of the hobby.  HELL YES I want price
collapses on the things that interest me!  See, I think of money as a necessary
evil to be used to buy things that I want, not an object of worship in and of
itself.  I'm not a Republican.
