Technically I should sell my Wii and walk away a winner right now. I probably should have sold it last year or during the holidays and walked away a real big winner. Eventually the supply will exceed demand, and the prices on the likes of Ebay will plummet. I should just be thankful that I could actually make money off of my investment rather then accept a diminishing return.
I suppose old habits die hard. I never abandon a console gracefully. By the time I concede to myself that I should indeed sell it, because it is really worthless to me. The market for the console has long since died, and I would be lucky to sell it and its associated library for fifty dollars. Which is almost always over a ninety percent devaluation. When you reach that point you might as well box it, and save it for nostalgia reasons thirty years from now.
Just an interesting thought, but it is financially sound to sell the machine. Perhaps not using it to buy a machine and sell the old one at a loss, but were the question whether I should just sell it for cold hard cash. Then yes it would probably be smart. I could always buy a new one in a few years for just over a hundred bucks. I could walk away a cool two hundred dollars richer.
