Yeah, it's a bit like any other large object hobby... it's technically a *-shaped hole in something you try to fill with money. Anyone who mentions that it's "an investment", I always give a sideways look to. Whether it's a boat, or cars, or pinball machines, if you're in it for the "financial investment", you're doing it wrong and are going to get bit.
