[Organizers] owning a stage

Hello organizers The cost of renting a stage (along with everything else) have increased substantially in comparison to inflation. When we compare the cost of buying a stage and paying for a rental unit to renting a stage for 3 events each year (two contra weekends and an ECD weekend) it doesn't seem to make sense. Do other organizations own their own stage? Thoughts about hidden costs besides storage unit and setup / take down? We are meeting Thursday night to discuss! Any thoughts prior to then would be welcome. Thoughts after that are still welcome, just not as timely.
