Not to mention that if you plan on playing it, it will (sooner than later) kill itself and then it will have no value to you.

The thing is when I didn't want one (years ago) they sold for peanuts. Now you seldom see one in decent shape go for under 200.

Yep. Don't you hate how that goes?

This is the most frustrating part of this hobby. One year it's worthless, and then the next it's too much.

Actually, one of the NIBs I was watching ended at about $350. That's the most I consider reasonable. Of course, I would buy it to play it. I like playing nice stuff. And a good controller is so worth the experience. I just haven't decided to pay that much....

And then when you decide 'ah, it's only money', and you spring for one, down goes it's value again :angry:

I think we need to form a support group or something.
