Perhaps some wealthy people can be convinced it is a status symbol (and Tag Heuer has been advertising watches on English Premier League Football broadcasts in the US for that reason) but I think that is desperation. Those companies are in trouble. Clearly watches are one of the most useless products available, given that anyone who can afford one already has a "phone" that tells time, and motions of the moon and stars if you want, and alarms, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps we should start a thread in which we guess which currently valuable products will be worth little in the future. To make it coin related, we can also guess which series of (ancient) coins will do the worst, in terms of return on investment. It isn't ancient, but I'd guess "key" dates US cents will do very poorly. When I was a kid many kids collected and we all didn't have, but wanted, the key dates. Now, not many kids collect. Who will pay the huge premiums for the key dates? Prices will go down--a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
