Hi Brian,
I collect vintage watches and wear and enjoy them.
I buy what I like, but I do buy with the thought in the purchase of ''will I get my money back/make a few bob if I sell later''.
I am not wealthy/rich I am on a modest income, so I don't want to throw money away.
Although I don't actually buy with future return as the main reason it is always a consideration.
I will one day sell my watches on and hopefully they will add a little extra cash to my retirement plan.
If I just put the cash in the bank it would get spent, but if I put the money in to watches I can't spend it and I get a huge amount of enjoyment out of them to boot.
Just my little eccentric view on my sad WIS life
