Exploring Live Sound Gear as an Alternative Investment

Lately, I’ve been curious about the idea of investing in live sound equipment things like vintage mixers, rare microphones, or limited-edition speakers. It seems like there’s a niche market for this kind of gear, especially among collectors and audio enthusiasts. Has anyone here dipped their toes into this space? I’m wondering if it’s worth considering as a long-term investment or if it’s more of a passion project. Are there specific brands or pieces that tend to hold or increase in value over time? Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences!
