<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 66619, member: 54&quot;]You will understand what I&#039;m saying better if you&#039;ve seen any of the &quot;vintage&quot; Antiques Roadshow (U.S. Version) programs where the 1999 or 2000 appraisals from the original broadcast dates are updated to what that item would be worth now in 2015.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised at some of the big changes, and surprised more by many items that have supposedly dropped to 1/3 of their former numbers.&nbsp; High-end lamps, plates, many cast-iron toys, etc. seem to have all but died.&nbsp; Very-rare, desirable, perfect-condition items, most N.A. items and some others have held value well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think some items were simply appraised too high before or are the changes all real?&nbsp; What major trends have you seen over time?&nbsp; What are the usual reasons for whole categories of items &quot;dying?&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
