I agree...I've definitely cut back on
collecting this year (not getting
a paycheck made that decision easy)...it's so hard to window shop! But
what amazes me is that some systems have not come down in price and in
some cases set records (e.g. Apple Lisa 1, Altairs, SOL-20s, Apple I
etc.)...I am amazed that some people can drop that much cash in this
economy.
Those were the truly smart people who realized it was a bubble and pulled
out at the peak ;) I also observed that the supply has not gone
up...I would expect more
systems on the market as people would sell their "luxuries" to raise
cash. I just haven't seen it. Any one agree?
I think the psychology is that people are not willing to let their
precious gems go for less than they think they're worth, certainly not for
less than they paid for them.
Everyone seems to be waiting for the immaculate economic recovery that
Bush keeps promising.
I hope everyone is planning to vote in this year's elections.
Let's just hope we have someone worth voting for!
