<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 91609, member: 1262&quot;]When I started going to auctions (about ten years ago) Hummel figurines were another thing that was big. There was a small group of Hummel collectors that would scour the newspaper auction listings and would attend all the auctions that had them. I vividly remember an auction where it took two full hours to get through the Hummel collection (probably 175 of them). Now they are selling for $10-$25 each, a huge decline from what they were selling for pre-2005.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>eBay and the internet seem to have played major roles in destroying the allusion that these collectables were ever rare and thus has suppressed prices. Why travel to an auction or antique shop and overpay when you can go on eBay and have your choice of a dozen or so exactly the same pieces at low prices?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
