the resale value of a secondhand war is very low.
"20 Year old slow-burn war available for reasonable price. Population w/ low morale, lots of growth potential! Motivated buyers only please."
- toast0 5y agoMaybe we should see if the first owner wants to buy it back?
- ineedasername 5y agoI guess that's true, the war was owned by Russia before the US purchased it at a very steep markup, while the Russians probably got a good deal on it from the Brits after it sat on a shelf for a century or so. I'm hopeful, though not at all optimistic in the short term, that it will now be EOL'ed. Unfortunately, as a product class these things tend to be very durable, and families can pass them down for generations as a curiosity until someone decides to put it back in the market. Or some new startup sees a chance to innovate while moving fast and breaking things.
