If I had a spare 12k under the matress I would buy it.    I played one at Mark Cs and it was fun, but the game play was no better than a stack of $2000 DMD's I have played.  You are buying a collectable and that is where the premiun price is.  You are always going to be able to sell it and the price is only going to go up probably as much as the five or so other DMDs would collectively.
