<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1836146, member: 6444&quot;]Politics aside, I observed something yesterday which might get us back to covid-19 impact on the antique business. In my state, stores are closed and only essential businesses are open. Only essential businesses means that those who are needed to pick up, sort and clean out estates aren&#039;t available - including thrift stores and auctions but really includes the whole estate handling chain. On the other hand trash pickup is still occurring as an essential service.</p><p><br /></p><p>This means that those who need to clean out their estates or attics need to either wait it out until this is over, or else just throw it all in the dumpster. I believe more good stuff than usual will be getting trashed. Maybe this could be good for the antique business depending on how long it lasts - less stuff going on the market maybe helping raise prices a bit? Wishful thinking probably.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
