I agree Dale. The slow economy combined with my job in the ever troubled airline industry have brought my "conspicuous consumption" to an abrupt halt. I won't be buying anything beyond my must haves (Maine and Texas Issues, club and Christmas pieces and Fresnel lens)in the near future. I have thought about selling some of the pieces that I own that are not in those categories but those wouldn't bring much right now so I will hold onto them and hope that the market rebounds. Terry
