Considering resale and the potential of actually making a few $$$ - B for me. These machines have gone through the depreciation phase and are now appreciating.
I have had a NIB Stern machine and very fresh second hand HUO Stern i.e. 3 months old and I don't know if I would do it again. I have had my HUO Premium ACDC for sale now at $6800 for a fair while and only get silly offers on it. It has opened my eyes up to the fact that buying a NIB machine is just like buying a new car, it is going to start losing money the second it comes out of the box.
