I would like to congratulate Mark Selby on his fifth World Title.
It was never in doubt.

Car fans, apparently Luca's Ferrari 488 is second-hand, cost €150k, and as soon as it left the forecourt it went up in value. #Knowledge

Isn't it usually the opposite? Cars depreciate in value, the second you drive them away?

Normal cars that are mass-produced, yeah.
But plenty of supercars and high-end stuff can end up worth more second hand due to low supply and high demand. Porsche are notorious for it at the minute. Most deals are invitation only (from a dealer to a good customer), so whoever gets hold of a limited-run GT3 RS for example is potentially sitting on profit.
Because of this, the relationship between supercar dealers and the stupidly wealthy / profiteers has become insular. It’s known as ‘flipping’ - acquiring something desirable for the sole purpose of immediately selling for a profit.
The market in general for that sort of thing has become ridiculous over the last few years. 1980s Sierra Cosworths for 200k, 90s Nissan Skylines for double that. Pretty sure there’s a slightly shady element to the whole thing.
Not everyone that buys a supercar has that agenda, but that’s the economy of it.

I share 66.6% of those knowledge gaps to be fair.
At least I have faith in my film taste.
