Good ones do. Well-known brands, in-demand machine types, low spindle hours and strong condition hold value well — some premium machines retain a large share of their price for years. Niche, obscure or worn machines, and those with obsolete controls, depreciate much faster. Demand for the specific model matters as much as age.
That resale strength is a real factor in what to buy. See depreciation and what affects used machine value, and check any machine at The Machine Blue Book.
