[QUOTE="Pomse2001, post: 505671, member: 3609"] I agree with you all :D Maybe prices will go down again, but I will see it first, I have only seen prices going up and up. Last year and the beginning of 2019 have been a nightmare for me, I do not win most of the auctions anymore :( Yes there is collectors out there, even on the forum that have not bought star wars in the 70s and 80s because they were not born in the good old 70s and 80s. There is allready a generation who will carry the torch on, I am sure the younger members on the forum will do that. I do not have kids yet, but if we get any then I hope they will have my collection. Today there is not enough pieces to keep new collectors satisfied :( I am sure that there are collectors out there who are really investors with no real emotional ties, I even see them in denmark. They buy most of the lots I see for sale in denmark and then just place it all for sale just to make a profit. Also one of many reasons why prices is high today. But also more variant collectors, more collectors and much more items on auctions with a high starting bid or a high buy it now price. If we just could remove the ones who buy just to make a profit then I think prices would go down so a real collector could get them cheaper and the price not would be pushed up. Also less new loft collections push the price up and that disney keep making new movies. I have no escape plan, but I must admit if it was not for the forum that keep the good things alive then I would maybe have had a break for the star wars collecting, because I really love to buy childhood lots and look in them for new variants, upgrade figures, weapons, vehicles and playsets. But when I can't win the lots when they come up for sale then it is not as funny as it was before. about kids and phones, I can say I do not have a smartphone because then I would end like all the kids you guys write about that sit all day long with a phone, so I have choosen to have a cheap mobile phone :lol: we do not have any kids yet so I do not know if the kids we hope to get in the future shall have a smartphone :?
