Very desireable things are still selling to the people who have such deep pockets that a downturn in the equities market is anticipated and no real threat to their wealth. Folks like this are waiting for those less fortunate to liquidate their high quality collectibles as pressures force a need for liquidity. The more the economy destabilizes the more bargains will be offered. In the coming months "cash is king." Items with inflated prices will stay on the shelf. Savvy sellers will put their best stuff back in the safe and bring out the things with a lot of sizzle that have very good margins and will look good in discount sales. My plan is to hold on to my cash and wait for something very very good.
