<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 3940508, member: 74571&quot;]Yes, for a lot of collectibles this is true.&nbsp; I discovered it first in the &quot;Collector&#039;s Plate&quot; frenzy in the late 70s and early 80s.&nbsp; I got pennies on the dollar.&nbsp; Then I got bit by the &quot;Baseball Card&quot; craze but got into it late and, again, got pennies on the dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is one reason an elderly friend in Norway has been sending me home on every visit with antiques and personal items.&nbsp; She told me for years that her two nieces and a nephew will just back a dumpster up to the steps and toss everything.&nbsp; She just entered a nursing home and at 91 is rapidly heading downhill.&nbsp; I suspect she is right about the household contents.&nbsp; Folks in Norway have a high standard of living and don&#039;t want &quot;old stuff.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b>I&#039;ve done better with coins, and primarily because I held an auction in August with a local auction house that has a great following of collectors.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t believe the prices realized.&nbsp; My junk silver went higher than people could have purchased it at the LCSs.&nbsp; It went so well that I am having another auction with them this coming Saturday.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Steve</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
