<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Only a Poor Old Man, post: 6617734, member: 111037&quot;]I can only speak for myself. When things get back to normal, I expect my coin collecting budget to be slashed by two thirds at least. I enjoy doing stuff like going out to eat, travelling, holidays abroad, going to gigs and the theater. I haven&#039;t done any of these for a year now. I simply won&#039;t have the same amount to spend on coins in the future like I have now. I suspect that the same will apply to many others, which may or may not drop the overall coin prices as people will become more conservative with their auction biding. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I don&#039;t think that high quality coins will drop by much. Competition will remain strong for high value items, as the number of collectors have increased and in the future people will focus on quality rather than quantity. For the time being, I believe it is more likely for a bargain high quality item to be found among a retailer&#039;s stock rather than in an auction. Good coins attract attention and the hammer price is so high that you might as well save yourself from the stress and just buy it straight from a coin shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
