[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 80873, member: 25"]Unlike Beanie Babies, it will probably bounce back in the fullness of time, though probably not soon enough for the generally geriatric sellers on this board. :-) It's a full time job keeping track of what is hot and what's not, and I have a personal tendency to pay over the current odds for what was hot a few years ago, not really realising that the item is now unfashionable. Since I am generally not buying to sell now, that is not really a problem, I can just buy stuff I like more cheaply. My heirs and assigns may be able to make a profit, I won't. The only safe way to go is to pay peanuts for everything. One exception is really fine items. For them, markets are much steadier, supply is small and demand is steady.[/QUOTE]
