[QUOTE="stormcab, post: 400983, member: 6519"] I agree a lot of people are buying for the hand claps after the showcase. I caught myself leaning that way a couple of times "it's been a while since anyone congratulated me, time to buy another MOC". But that only lasts half a day if you're lucky, and I remember several times posting some lovely pieces on here after weeks of nothing of note had appeared, only for someone to post an even more impressive piece immediately after me and I was invisible :D . Can't see the prices ever going down, as most of us collectors won't want to let our pieces ever go, and more fans will appear with the introduction of each new film and the frenzy that surrounds it. Some of us will probably be tempted to eventually let a few bits go as pieces become so rare that people are paying £500 for a ROTJ Rancor Keeper AFA 70, thus anything we have that is even slightly rare might buy us a nice car. A thing I will point out though is some pieces are going for well below expected prices. Off the top of my head an AFA 85 Greedo Palitoy 20 Back, and Straight 85s 12 Back SP Palitoy went for less than £900 at auction on eBay. In these cases I think a lot of people just dismiss watching them as they think they'll easily be going £1500-2000, thus they don't get their possible numbers fighting over them. I was one of them. I would have almost certainly upgraded my Greedo AFA 75 and SP AFA 80 for those in a heartbeat, but like I said, didn't follow it close enough as I knew I'd have no chance. [/QUOTE]
