I saw a recent Facebook post and it got me thinking... It's a graph showing the demographics of one of the Star wars Facebook group's members. It seems obvious that most Vintage collectors start up their collections around the 35-45 age. There has been a lot of discussion as to why that is: nostalgia, disposable income, etc. However is there an age when people sell up? I know its hard to gauge with Star Wars as it's only been around 40 years but with older collections (Dinky, etc), is there a pattern as to when people lose interest?
Maybe the Facebook results show that older people don't use Facebook? Or is there a trend that interest drops off as we age?
Older members of my family have all wanted to declutter their houses and have gotten rid of a lot of their stuff. Does that happen with collectables or do most people collect 'til the very end?
