Signguy's right,
I keep re-investing my restoration money into my shop and inventory. I keep telling my wife that when I die her next husband is going to be set!!
Thats what I have been doing.  Most of the stuff I have is Gas and oil related and the "lower end" stuff I have has just stayed stable or dropperd in value.  There have been a few large collections flood the market with stuff.  The upper end stuff seems to keep rising and I don't have any of that type.  
That is what kind of got me into machines.  I can sit a globe on the shelf and look at it or I can buy a machine, restore it and actually use it.  What could be better than that?  I can enjoy my toys and not just see $$$ sitting on a shelf.
