Of course DeviousDave is right, there are probably better investments although occasionally an engine will really appreciate. For example, in 1968 I bought an unusual engine called an Aero .35 for around 40 bucks, I shortly thereafter sold it to a collector for $50.00. Several years ago, that collector passed away and I again bought the engine which was still NIB just like the day I sold it to him 40 years earlier. This time though, I had to part with $300.00, almost 10 times what I paid for it originally.
The other day, this same engine in the same condition sold on Ebay for nearly $800.00 and this is now the going price for this engine, 20 times the original price!
