[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 341666, member: 301"]Why is the team rearing while the outrider in in full gallop ???:wacky::wacky: It's lovely...& the price sounds right !! I mean good , for you !;) & the condition for what I suspect to be an older item.....wow ! :) That said....over time what folks collect....changes. Home styles change....& so does what is thought to have investment value. People....in general...have less disposable income, and may indeed place less value on things, as opposed to 'doing' things that enrich their lives. Here , I've seen furniture..fine, hard to make furniture, commanding pennies on the dollar of what they must have first sold for.....machines that have been cast aside, silver gold and jewels plucked for pennies at 2nd hand stores....ect...ect. I don't think that to a man...or woman, anyone at that sale would argue that your item was not supremely well made.....just that it's not what they are looking for ! I see more auctions now , than ever before....and the ones I look at usually have high quality , diverse items..& while I can't say if the prices are up or down....the stuff is still selling.[/QUOTE]
