When I read a thread that states..................

"I am really turned off on the hobby right now" "I have a bad taste in my mouth" "I'm ready to cut my loses."

.......................maybe the hobby is not for you and that's OK.

And don't worry I too have un-apathetically watched my collection go down in value year after year. Did that ever make me "lose my desire for hobby", absolutely not!! It only increased my collecting habits because I begin seeing those harder to find missing pieces actually become more affordable and in what I considered a "reasonable" price range, regardless of what an out of date price guide said. So a positive spin on a declining market and yes I could have been a bit more caring but at least the Brian Wilson picture got a reaction!!
