I hate to throw a wrench in the good news of prices going up but if you take a close look at each of these and other auctions over the past several months of older pieces not listed above in Daniels report you will find that perhaps the rise in price is not due to an increase in the market itself but rather bidding "wars" among the same two to three bidders who seem to compete with each other on a regular basis for older pieces.In particular one of them has won a high % of ebay auctions for the older pieces on a regular basis for several months now. It is my opinion that the rise in price on Ebay for the older pieces is due to a bidding war environment rather than the market itself or the same one or two bidders setting high maximum bids that others try to beat which drives up the price in almost all cases. Another way to express this, as Yoda would say it, Monopoly a true active market does not make. It is nice to see prices going up even if it is driven by the same two or three bidders.How many of us remember when prices were good among a much larger group of purchasers for the "classics"?
