<p>[QUOTE="pprp, post: 3408692, member: 94602"]Owl tets are well known even to non-collectors and are so very popular; there is always demand. Then there are people who can't just have one but are collecting different styles/variations etc. That's the politically correct version. The conspiracy version is that prices are manipulated at auctions so you will hardly get a deal. You can ask yourself who consigns all these hundreds of tets in auctions all around the world and who is controlling the numbers that hit the market? If the said 20.000 tets hit the market at the same time, their price will surely drop. Is the consignor that patient? I don't think that the scavengers who took this hoard out of Syria would be patient enough to sell the hoard over 5-10 years. In my opinion a few people from the west world who are in the business bought the hoard and are slowly leaking it in the market. HA has been disposing the largest part of the hoard, followed by CNG, ROMA and Naumann. The germans and the swiss are occasionally auctioning a few pieces which means they are out of the business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
