I think even though the economy is slow and the prices may or may not come down any, but just a matter of where and how you find good deals on what you're looking for. It does pay to shop around, even if it takes using a little gas or spending hours on the computer. Hit those swap meets and such!Thumbs Up

Who cares?  With the price of everything else bottoming out my money has way more buying power, so I don't care if my hobby comes down in price as my relative worth is going up.  I'll buy what I want with all my new disposable wealth.

The "doom and gloom" is being reported on the news for a reason: It is true.

MR:

Oh, I know things are bad. 

Where I get off the train is when people continue "...and they will NEVER get better! Not ever!"

Or words to that effect.

Oh yes, here it is.  We all know that everything the news media reports is always fair, unbiased and objective and interested in letting the reader come to their own conclusions based only on the presentation of facts without presumption of personal agenda.  What a lark. 

Whatever, let everybody think the economy is tanked, it just makes it easier for me to buy what I want at excellent prices.
