Hallo Here's a UK perspective. I have probably bought more posters in the last year than in the three years before that.  It seems that quite a few posters which have historically been in the low-hundred dollar range now pop up for (sometimes considerably) less than $100.  This has been

But not for the faint-hearted. KILLER JOE, the new William Friedkin movie is one of the blackest black comedies you will ever see. But don't expect to guffaw at well-placed one-liners. Rather, expect to be so appalled that you can't help but laugh. I don't shock too easily and I'm not

I guess if you are talking as an investor then yes, it is a bad time to sell out of favor items that are currently selling for lower prices than they once were. And if you paid sky high prices at the top of the market then now is a bad time to sell. But some things will be higher in five years
