User Randalls are not really that expensive, relatively speaking. The last users I bought were a gently used #10-5 off eBay for the kitchen and a #28 from the shop for general field use. Both were pretty reasonable.

So, if you're not going to use them for fear of losing value, than why not sell them and go do or buy something with the money you enjoy? I can understand if it is a family heirloom and a delicate item; otherwise, to just have it sit in a raw so your heirs will sell it after you're gone seems silly to me. JMO, YMMV.
