I think you are right Sue.  There were a few items I had my eye on in this auction, but what with Christmas coming up, the lowering $/£ exchange rate and the general economic climate I simply could not justify it.

I haven't had the chance to have a thorough look at the results, but Flying Down to Rio for $239K - I did not see that coming!

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.
