    Quoted from DaveH:

    So I’m also going to disagree with ColorDMD, but for different reasons. I don’t like to sell games with them still in it. People seem to have a price in mind for games, and that price doesn’t include a ColorDMD. But much worse than that, the replacement game I’m buying will probably need a ColorDMD! So I’m paying full price for it, and any extra mounting stuff. For a game like Stern Star Trek, that’s $445.33 USD to my door. Why would I sell it for a dime less than that, seeing I’ll need one as soon as that game leaves and the next game shows up?
    So when I put one in a game I drop the original DMD into the box, write the game name on it, and toss it in the closet. Then the original goes back in when I sell it.

    Regarding "Why would I sell it for a dime less than that"...

    The old ColorDMD has lost some of it's value as it's used and does not have the same lifespan as a brand new one. Given the choice, most would take a brand new ColorDMD over a 4 year old one. Additionally, you would have to install the OLD DMD if you removed the ColorDMD -> which has a value of $100 (or $150 for a new one)
