[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 4317397, member: 96864"]Maybe oldfinecollector was making an unrefined but accurate point about right now clearly being a buyers market for fun but functionality impractical luxuries like antiques, collectibles etc.? More broadly in different collectors markets I've seen items long unavailable appear again as collectors are forced to liquidate because of obvious economic pressures. Buyers like me all over the world are pulling back just as many others are getting pinched at the same time and forced to sell, thus oversaturating markets seeking a slice of that smaller pie of overall expendable income. Bad combination for sellers. Just bought and already received this little collection of near eastern Bronze Age weaponry for 12.50 shipped. Total. If that's not evidence of it being a buyer's market right now and a bad time to sell I don't know what is.
