If its resale value value which is an issue then that's another matter.
Of course it's all down to the individual what they wish to spend and where. I'm just pointing out the bare facts. I haven't factored in the desireabity / Gas of an item/amp that can be very pricey Macs and PCs?
For example, I took a right hit on my lovely Pair Tele I sold...
I still would like to try one next time I'm at Coda
I might have accidentally commissioned a deluxe style build recently...
I think buying and selling kit is as much a hobby as playing and owning it.
If your hobby is in buying and selling (no shame in that, at all!) then yes, you're more restricted by what holds resale. Ironic that the folk who are perhaps able to try the most kit are also more restricted by that I suppose.
If your hobby is in playing, you'll not necessarily be put off. You'll try stuff that looks neat. You do need to be careful about warranty and service, especially with small start ups...
If you like finding unusual, niche brands that perhaps try something different, there is more out there than ever before. Some is shite. Plenty is fabulous.
Sadly, it's harder to find brilliant handwired high gain modern metal amps, so it's mostly clean and mid-gain machines. The cynic in me says this is because they're easier to build.
Or perhaps everyone knows a 6505 and a dual rec can't be beat
