That could be part of it but, it seems like there is more vintage gear
than ever before in some categories. People aren't giving stuff away
anymore but, putting it on ebay. There is probably more Apple II series
stuff on ebay than ever. The rarer non-consumer stuff does seem to be
getting pretty rare. Sun2/3, Apollo, and that sort hardly comes up at
all anymore. I suspect it may have more to do with people hording it
than there actually being less of it out there. There are some really
full garages and storage spaces out there in collector land. I wonder if
there won't be a glut of the good stuff hitting the market again in ten
years or so when its time for it to go.
Seems like we are in a upswing of vintage gear
prices. Some stuff is
going for many time what it would have last year even. I think people
are feeling better about spending money again.
What I see is about the same amount
of demand chasing a smaller
supply.
