    Vegetables. Purchased with all the intent of eating them before they go bad. I don’t eat them quickly enough and they go bad. There’s no in between stage. They were edible and now they are not.

    I would also say custom motorcycles and probably many things people customize. It costs money to make things unique, but that uniqueness costs you resale value.

      Nah, a well done custom will retain most of its value provided we arent talking about hyper individual customisation. Theres a lot of dead time involved in a well executed custom and theres a value to it being already done that a lot of cashed up people are willing to pay a premium on that offsets the outlay, You usually wont make money though.

    Anything tech. It’ll be obsolete before you know it. Some products go “obsolete” before it’s actually too old to be usable because the company wants you to buy the new one.

    Gentlemen, there are Facts, and there are Opinions.

    you HAVE to know a difference between them for your own goodness sake.

    facts are always backed by numbers, while opinions are given based on feelings, word of mouth (which is often NOT based on numbers)

    FACT is, and asset lands cash directly into your pockets (after deducting all the bills for operating the asset). If not, that’s a liability.

    BASED ON ABOVE:

    1. you can call anything an asset, even your bed; so long as numbers tell you so.

    2. You can make anything an asset if you are an excellent salesman.

    NB: yes, companies like Samsung make the new device obsolete when they launch new lineups. But you don’t see BestBuy or Microcenter throwing the just-obsolete devices out of the stores.
