I would buy a cactus for 10 or 12 grand no probs. I would love to buy the one my mate has.I am jealous for sure.why not.
I gotta be honest, its a collectable/ego/show off/rare purchase.but its the challenge of getting one which would get me going.just like the guys who fix pins.its the challenge thats gets us in to fixing n finding pins.

I mean, why are mercedes and ferrari's so expensive. huge demand, small production numbers, very few can afford.
it has to be a show off thing and a collectable/challenge/investment etc.
If u buy 4 pins for say a total of $12 grand, and they go up 20 percent in say 3 - 5 yrs, if you buy a cactus for 12 grand, will it go up 20 percent, ofcourse.

if a pin collector walks in your house and sees a cactus, he will say lucky bastard, if he walks in and sees a 2500 pin, that lots of poeople have, and u can get real easy, he says, ohh yeh, not bad.

I wish we all had cactus canyons.if i had one, i would want everyone out there to play it so at least i could share a rare thing with others.that would be the best part of owning a cactus or monster bash or attack from mars. seeing other pinheads playing them.thats the real investment.
