solid state integrateds that will hold their value

I HATE losing a lot of $$$ when the bug hits me to try something new so I like to purchase gear that is not only reliable but holds its value well long term (and of course sounds good!).

Two on my short list are:

Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II
YBA Passion

Mac's also seem to remain pretty stable in pricing but i have actually never HEARD one. Comments/comparisons of sound etc welcome.

Thanks

Jeff

Supply and demand is really what will determine resale value of anything.

Colelctor items aside, newer, proven brands/products in good condition that offer good value to start will hold value best. Agon bluebook resale prices would be the place to look to find out what those are.

Does tube gear really have an advantage? Anything concrete to back that up? I suppose only the data in the agon bluebook database might say for sure. That or any similar data that ebay might retain and make available.

And your wallet, I bet.
