<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3045552, member: 88829&quot;]Everybody likes full employment and fat paychecks.&nbsp; But when the economy is strong, so are the prices of collectibles at auction.&nbsp; After all, &quot;everybody&quot; has more to spend.&nbsp; Savvy vendors know this and salt away the really important material when the economy is down, only bringing it out when the market is up.&nbsp; The rare appearance of really choice and rare material stimulates buyer frenzy and in short order everything trades at exceptional prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the market is high, mostly concentrate on buying material you don&#039;t see when the market is weak.&nbsp; Then, when the economy tanks, you will be able to pick up the rest at bargain basement rates.&nbsp; Your best buys are most likely to come a year or so into a declining economy.&nbsp; Fewer buyers and plenty of sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you are already a person of extraordinary means to do this you need to be at it for two business cycles (20 years each), but at the end of that you will have a rocking collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
