<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaulBD, post: 777011, member: 11378&quot;]It&#039;s tragic and a real problem for those who invested heavily in them for the future. At auction here, a gilt bronze empire clock circa 1805, 5-8 years ago might have been $2000. Now they sell at around $1000 or so - maybe even less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased a circa 1830 longcase clock recently for $25 - in very good condition. 5 years ago it would have cost me 150. A decent English later 18C longcase clock can now be found for 200-600. A few years back, that would have been 1200-1500.</p><p><br /></p><p>The decline has been extraordinary. I can&#039;t explain it but suspect it&#039;s largely fashion. The pendulum will swing back though (no pun) and prices will go up - I think/hope![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
