<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 70491, member: 308"]It may - you never know. Markets for rare items like this can be tricky in some categories. Most Blenko pieces sell below $100 and some collectors tend to focus on unmarked pieces that can be picked up even cheaper from unknowing dealers. For them that's half the fun - getting the item much cheaper than book. There is a certain price point, though, they cannot go above either because of necessity or choice. McCoy collectors can be the same way. We'll pay prices up to a certain point but won't go beyond it no matter how desirable or rare the item. There are "super" collectors that will pay whatever it takes to acquire an item, but you need to find two of them for your auction to really take off. And finding these rare collectors can be trickier than finding the rare item. JMHO</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
