Some of the high end items were grossly overestimated as well I think.
The items I was interested in (mid end) were pretty competitive. I
only managed to pick up two, while hoping to pick up 4 or 5 good buys.
Probably the collecting millionaires had other things on their minds.

Hello Eric and all,
I watched the Heritage auction yesterday and was amazed at how
low many items that are typically high price items realized. There
can't be any other reason than the economy. Typically, I have found
that auctions that are closer to the holidays do even better than
auctions at other times of the year. Since the economists are
anticipating the lowest spending during the holidays that has been
seen in years, I'm sure that translates to auctions also. Remember,
when the economy is bad, for the most of us luxury items are the
first to get hit. Many people who are in need of cash are selling
off posters right now also. You've got to deal with the essentials
first and for most of us there isn't much left over right now.
