Believe it or not, those were not low prices for the time. It was still not uncommon for great finds to turn up at auctions or come out of farm houses. Nowadays most everything is picked over and Ebay has made most everyone a dealer eager to make a fortune. Even when something new comes to the market the owner has been told "Oh this one is very unique and rare" a thousand times.
