Bruce,
maybe you're right, and it is eBay that's dead. Then again, anybody
bids in the last seconds these days, so I still have some hope left!
However, this brings me to another topic I have been thinking about
for some time:
At the time being, there are constantly TONS of material on offer:
eBay, three major Heritage auctions a year, 1500+ lots from Bruce
every week, and so on.
So far, we see new 'world records' quite frequently, and the next
'bigger than ever' auction event always seems to be just around the
corner.
What I wonder is: How long can the market eat up this constant flow
of material?
Is the decay of the poster market on eBay just the self-deserved
downfall of a corrupted system, or will it be exemplary for the hobby?
Remember, a few years ago eBay spiralled poster prices into new
dimensions, very much like some live auctions do today.
I wonder: Is the hobby actually prospering or are we aslready in a
bubble that's going to burst sooner or later, like the New Economy
did?
Let's hear some opinions on this.

Maybe you are misidentifying the corpse. I think it is eBay that is
"dead", not horror and sci-fi!
