Hey happy Monday to y'all.
Survived another auction Saturday, physically anyway not sure if financially though. It definately was a buyers auction. Things just ain't what they use'ta be. Seems like the collector base has shrunk. Not just at the auction but all around. Normally the flea market dealers are volume buyers but now there seem to be less dealers and more particular buyers.
Tray lots of glassware and china are doing about 20% of what they used to. Kitchen and country stuff quiet, paper collectibles about normal, general merchandise quiet, records and books totally dead. Costume jewelry normal. And so on. Even online things are quiet unless it's something hard to find or a high end toy or super glass. Where did the average everyday collector go?
I remember back when ........ OK, another time for that.
Gotta go to an auction tomorrow night (Tuesday). Hey somebodys gotta help boost the economy, plus the "Zillion Item Hoard" needs some fill ins.

Hi Country Joe , this is the best blog I have come across in ages. How long have you been posting to this blog? I have my own website trading lapel pin which I have been maintaining for a while but am more interested in blogging.
Hey Country Joe GREAT title Where did the collectors go?. Thats what actually caught my eye. I was surfing blogs to try and help my customers and visitors with information on my website about ##Keyword## and paused to read but ran out of time. I will book mark it and come back to read later. This isn't really what I was looking for what I really need is information about http://www.horse-lover-gift-ideas-central.com related subjects but thank you and I shall return. I wish you well.
