Btw, adding up retail pricing only works if the product is still current, if it's retired, then those are just inflated numbers.

I'm not sure I follow. MSRP is MSRP, no? I'd even say that an out of production MSRP should be adjusted for inflation to stay relevant.

The question was "investment", to me that means that the product has to have value in terms of either flip-ability or resale. Typically though not always, resale is associated with msrp and if a product is still current, then the resale value of that unit is typically higher than it would be had the product been retired or replaced.

You wouldn't pay 2500 for a 5000 cdplayer if it's 10 years old and been replaced twice, but you might pay 2500 for a 5000 CD player if it's a current generation.

I don't think adjusting for inflation applies to our products either.

I see what you're saying. We should be listing what we could sell said equipment for today, not what we payed for it.
