Its worth what someone is prepared to pay for it ...... Stocks,cars,"luxury" watches....and dare I say it,even property !!! ( Hello bankers !!!
).
Now your very own 233 is "protected" in value by desirability,price increases and lowish numbers.Used value a bit down due to mismanagement of some sectors of the financial and economic world
,but as the recession eases,so will the used value increase.
BUT,I argee,sorry....agree ..
,with the fact that 28s and 26s end up directly in grey market dealers "cheap" shelves.Thats unfortuanate.I also agree that being able to buy the likes of eg. a 127 at MRSP.That would be wonderful.Now we get to what is paid on the secondary market again !!! Lower,but still high.
