what will increase in value and what will not is an interesting topic. Imagine if you could move ahead 50 or 100 years and look on ebay or it's equivalent and see how things changed. perhaps since antiques are at a low point there is opportunity, but what things would you expect to increase in popularity? furniture will always be needed. Im not convinced AM and shortwave radios that I collect are great examples of what I expect to increase. maybe some that I restore could end up in museums and be preserved for much longer than I ever imagined. I dont think nice usable furniture or lamps are going out of fashion anytime soon. Anyone care to make a prediction? I think MCM is the flavor of the day because people like to buy what they remember having as kids and a lot of 30 year olds have expendable income. age value and rarity dont always coincide, The market is driven by supply and demand.
today I needed to take my laptop out. I rarely transport it. I had a quick look around and found I had a soft leather briefcase made by Pierre Cardain.. turned out to be just the right size for a laptop. pouches for cables, an arm strap, perfect ! It's all worn but intact and I kind of found a new appreciation and use for it.
