  but I'm NOT J. Paul Getty.
  
  That said, I paid about $750 for the 300B tube amp kits about 12-15 years ago and thought the WE 300B's in them are well used they are likely holding their value well.
  
  Custom Cocobolo wood veneer Edgarhorns might be close to what I paid for them(used). Most of my stuff is kits and the rest vintage or used, so who knows? What I'd guess is that the stash of tubes I have in storage has likely gone up in value, but everything else I own, probably not. :-(
  
  Beachfront home in San Francisco might make up for it though.

      to do me much good.
      
      But I did lease vehicles over the years, but mostly for tax purposes.
      
      Now retired, I pay cash for a car and hope it outlives me. :-(
      
      I like Warren Buffett's take:
      
      "Buy a business, don't rent stocks."

        Being able to expense lease payments for business use is a different story!
