Quoted from insight75:It scares me that so many people are hung up on the idea of losing money on these things. I'll be honest.....for me I use it as an excuse sometimes with my wife...."hey I'm going to make money....thats why I NEED to buy this new machine". But the truth is I never expect to make a dime on these things. Fully prepared to take a hit if I decide to sell. Happy if I make money but never the expectation. Oh...and I absolutely love my CE....maybe that will change but the family is very happy with it.
It's because at these prices, the hobby has largely become a rich-man's activity and it's expected that everything they do and every move they make should be a money maker and not a money loser.
