It doesn't strike me as odd that aging equipment drops dramatically in price with each passing decade. As an example - Arri Alexa cameras are now *affordable* for most independent DPs/ops. Why would original Arri owners be mad at resale? That camera has made them their money back.

And so with a Meridian system are we really expecting a slow decrease in value over 30 years? Does anyone in their right mind expect them to *gain* value? If you can't get the money you want for it... keep it. This sounds like the guy with the rusty jalopy in his backyard posting on craigslist "I know what I have". If the goal is to sell for as little loss as possible - consumer electronics is not the realm to speculate in.
