If one was contemplating making such an "investment"on a publication such as one of these, for example, it does seem somewhat surprising that an individual who maybe prepared to pay these sorts of prices does not consider the possibility of the publication being reprinted.
One can imagine one's slight irritation on having "invested" such a sum,
on hearing the news that the said publication is due to be reprinted and marketed at a fraction of the cost that one has just paid.
One can also imagine one's spouse's slight irritation
at the sudden devaluation of one's "investment" too.
