The only re-buys with value are satellites for bigger freeze out tourneys. Often in these tight play until the rebuy is over may see you short stacked but all the people who re buy are just adding plenty of extra qualifying places for the next round. It is then possible to play sensibly to get one of the qualifying seats. Too many people play these trying to win rather than just to qualify which after all pays the same.

As an example I played on once where the two short stacks were on my table and they made five re buys between them during the interval. They then proceeded to get knocked out on the next two hands. What they had in effect done was to add an extra half seat to the prize pool.
