I saw the same thing happen with antiques while living and working in New England. When we first moved there twenty years ago the prices at the gigantic Brimfield (MA) antique shows (as well as at stores across the six state region) were high and stayed that way. By the time we left nine years ago it was shocking how much they had declined. I saw the same thing that you both mention. The generations following the Boomers seemed to be saying, “What’s the big deal?”
