Only good until its time to sell. ;)
I took the dog for a walk and had a good think on this and had a couple
thoughts.
- I don't understand why antique dishes are "better" than modern, in fact
considering Max's reference to the dishwasher I can see ways they aren't as
good. When I first started out we bought some fake fiestaware at Wal-Mart. 19
years later its still fine, we don't use it much as the plates are really big.
I'm not saying this in the "I know best" sense, I mean I don't know, there
might be a reason, I just don't know it.
- Everybody has something they're into, I like antique guns. I don't like the
modern black plastic stuff. I understand that some people are into it but its
just not my thing.
- I don't understand looking down my nose at people who aren't into my thing.
That seems to be a popular attitude though...
-Curt

Roger, if you're a collector you should be ECSTATIC if young people with $$s
don't value what you want to purchase. You will get better deals if demand
drops.

I had to go back in my messages to see how we got here. I was replying to Clay
who was suggesting that young people today can't make anything. I suggested 3
people who actually do make things which apparently wasn't enough for Roger who
then seemed to suggest that young people not making things is why his business
is declining.
I've been consistent my argument, if you want to argue something else don't
reply to my posts.

Well, I guess we are on different topics/issues/views. I'm talking antiques
and appreciation for the "value of old things". I'm not talking about
artsy/craftsy things that are new, regardless of the techniques used to create
them. I'm glad there is an arts and crafts movement and young people are
involved. But I'm in to antiques, not arts and crafts. As always, I'm not
pushing an argument, just stating my view, which may or may not agree with
yours.
Best Wishes,
