That's actually very close to straight-line depreciation of capital goods, meaning that the intrinsic value of the desk has held relatively constant for its asset class.
If we look at the capital markets, the S&P was close to 1400 in June 2008, and now it's 1,063.11, which is a depreciation of 24%. If you were in the market for an SSL console in the past two years, you'd have been better off cashing in stocks in June 2008 and buying gear than holding stocks and buying gear today. |
That's all providing the guy with the SSL can sell it TODAY. It's going to be a tough call. There are not that many studios that need a console like that, and most that do already have one. I would not be surprised to hear it sold for $50k.
