Think about it, it's kind of like what happens when the bullion markets drop quickly and significantly. The stock that dealers had on hand was purchased at significantly higher prices.

So they hang on to it and keep their asking prices well above the current market level.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same kinda thing happens with coins. For 10 years the coin market has done nothing but drop.
