<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1819051, member: 1262"]All of the outlets for quick disposal of collections are closed currently and this will make collections of antiques that come onto the market very difficult to market and "move" to new homes. Auctions, antique shows, coin/stamp shows, vintage toy shows, estate sales, and dealer to dealer traffic helped greatly to liquidate the collections of the deceased. Now all of those avenues are not available until this pandemic is dealt with which could take a extended period of time -- What treasures will be taken to the dump by the families of the deceased since they just want the old stuff gone quickly? Like the estate sale participated in by our own [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] -- what would happen to it if there wasn't avenues available to sell vast amounts quickly -- would the family lose patience and throw lots of stuff out into a dumpster like they would a hoarder's stash of newspapers and pop bottles to clear up the real estate for eventual sale?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
