General Discussion / Re: Is it that bad?

 a lot easier to live in the virtual reality world of entertainment/ pastime choices , it is a new age . From a retail perspective more disposable funds these days are directed to living in an easier environment , the argument exists  why should I spend lots of money on something that requires effort to be pacified , I believe its a generational characteristic --its now easier to be lazy . So I can see why a past time like vintage MX is undesirable to the younger generation -hence value becomes reduced on items that were previously sought after
