[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 12982, member: 25"][I]Lots of fine things, in different categories, and I hate that prices have gone down so much[/I] Looking on the bright side, you didn't pay for them. I find in a tight market that the best stuff still sells well. It's the bread and butter that people can do without, the really exciting pieces still sell to people who don't really notice recessions and weak markets. There is a lot of stuff in the salerooms that normally, if I'd been buying to sell, I'd have had a go at because they were a bit interesting and fairly cheap, but although I don't have anything like the budget now, I'll chase something I think is really good and think about how to pay for it later. Shifting market trends may be more of a factor than tight money, things do go off the boil, and there is nothing much to be done but live with them till the tide turns or get what you can while you can and don't dream of what might have been.[/QUOTE]
