Thanks for sharing this, Charlee. I think he's 'dead on.' I love the vintage machines, but recognize that their resale value may be a variable; therefore I am only willing to pay what a machine is worth to ME, not 'what the same machine is listed for on e-bay'! This article underscores that something is only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay for it. That being said, did you see the recent post about some crazy lady paying $10,000.00 for invisible art? Sheesh!
