<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhiwfield, post: 91528, member: 924&quot;]We normally avoid auction lots of modern collectables, but as with most things, whether an item is a good investment depends both on market value and price paid. A fellow dealer bought one very large lot of Beanie Babies quite cheaply, sold the rarer ones very quickly for an enormous profit and then sold the rest in split lots at another auction. Long term investment maybe not, but not to be dismissed out of hand as a short term opportunity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wedgwood Jasper Ware likewise, most items sell for very little, but rarer modern items, like tricolour plates are highly collected</p><p><br /></p><p>And as others have commented, collectables can bring a lot of pleasure to the owner, irrespective of investment return[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
