However I sell both on-line and in a brick and mortar.
In both places sales are down, price pressure is up and I am approached regularly by people who want to sell their collections to me.
People are not just selling their excess, they are selling the good stuff. First editions, rare patterns, manufacturing errors that you normally not only could not afford but you never even saw on the market.
One interesting tidbit, sale always take a nose dive after the fifteenth of the month. People are trying to stretch their money until the end of the month.
For decades the Rat mantra at election time was, “Most Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless.”. Of course, it was not true but just something they said to get elected. Now it is true and notice you have not heard that phrase in years.
