Just to put it in perspective: how much has automobile depreciation cost you 
in the past decade? Or how much is a decade old computer item worth now?

Unless it's very rare or desirable, even a "collectable" (radio or otherwise) 
usually isn't worth as much as it was new when scaled for inflation.

Just my $0.02 worth....
