<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3153964, member: 8363"]I appreciate you sharing your perspective. As you know, I am not a collector. Nor do I consider the value of something I bought in the past in making a decision about what lovely things come into my home. I just supposed that the cost of things and their subsequent value are a concern for some. When I was in search of a curio cabinet, I went to see many that were overpriced - the owners expecting to fully recoup their original cost in the sale. Mostly newer stuff. Several years ago, I bought a beautiful oak, glass fronted side board that I was refinishing to display some items. During the process of handing the curved glass and fine details, I realized that it wouldn't serve the purpose I intended it for. I paid a lot of money for it because it was so beautiful Nowadays, I probably couldn't give it away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
