Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 750791, member: 6036"]Yes. It does. And it has. But in response to that, many collectors say "this is no time to sell", so they hold on to some good material. When demand drops off and prices drop, supply drops off a bit... and that stabilizes prices a bit. It's a buffered system. Much great material is held by independently wealthy people barely affected by recession. They don't need to sell, so they don't. Why sell into a down market if you don't need to ? They wait it out, the inevitable recovery comes along (as it always has), and they can sell when prices rise.[/QUOTE]
