I agree in principle with each of you, but practical experience is a great
teacher. One of the hard lessons learned in life is buying something that
is ill suited to a job, then trying to liquidate it in order to replace it
with a tool that is better suited. The better investment would have been
the proper tool to do the job at the outset. Often times the money is gone
and the tool simply can't do the job at hand, and has poor resale value, if
it can be sold at all.

Is this a good or a bad thing? Is the bottle half full or half empty?

if the resale value is so poor then it stands to reason that you can
pick one up second hand at a very attractive price -- and as long as
you look after it, there's no reason why you can't recoup most of that
money when you on-sell it later.
