Well, it's all about value. With a box of cigars, you smoke them and they're gone. With a $100 roaster, it'll provide benefits for presumably a few years down the road.

That said, I don't have a roaster yet, but the thought has crossed my mind. I've been content buying Starbucks beans, although I've always wondered if I could do an even better job. I haven't ventured into this area, but I'm also guessing that roasting your own would lower the price you pay for roasted beans, so your price would go down.
