Resale value


Just curious ... do you consider potential resale value when purchasing new or used equipment?

When buying unheard i always look for value . When i get a chance to actually hear in person i am willing to pay top dollar if i like it . Moving away from boutique brands that take longer to resell too .
I think that for those who are just getting into the hobby it is well advised to look for re-sale value as most often than not many components and speakers will come and go until you find what works for you. Having said that I have found that moving towards "boutique" brands with very good performance/cost ratio is where I have found the keepers. YMMV of course.
