I'm not complaining but I've witnessed the downturn with my Team Caliber Owner's NASCAR diecasts last year and was shocked to see the Lane, GMP, AA, and Ertl cars aren't commanding the same money they once were.
I collect die cast and Lionel Trains. Look at the stock market. Collectables hit the skids just before the stock market. You try to make your house payment first is the rule when things go down.
