<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 119563, member: 1262&quot;]A few weeks ago I was at an estate auction and there were a bunch of Hummel figurines from the 1980&#039;s-90&#039;s that were selling for $8-$12 each. I didn&#039;t want them .... but I remember about ten years ago, when I first started going to auctions, there used to be tons of dedicated Hummel collectors who paid out big money ($50-100 each) for the most common of figurines.</p><p><br /></p><p>What has happened to the Hummel market? will they rebound or are they going the way of Precious Moments and Longaberger Baskets? Once hot collectables but now, for all intents and purposes, nearly worthless. I remember sage advice that some antique dealers told me when my family started attending auctions; don&#039;t expect things that were manufactured as collectables to remain collectables in the long term. I believe that this is the case with Hummel figurines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their once numerous collector base is now gone and the market is oversaturated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
