Precious Moments MUST READ!

The precious moment figurines have continued to drop in price for 18 month now. I actually followed this trend since we collect them. People must understand when listing, either put it at a price that will get bids or waste your money with listing fees. The market is at the bottom now, an all time low, especially in teh last couple months.You see people listing the canoe PM figure for 650.00 saying teh book value is 800.00.....lol.... that figurine has never sold for that amount, and the fact many dont understand, is the book value is 50-70% over rated. meaning they say there worth two and a hlaf times what they will actually sell for. Another prime example, the god loveth a cheerful giver figurine, they always says its the rarest and hard to get, not true, and today i can find 4 on ebay alone, that will sell for under 280.00, this time last year they sold for 4-500. and there always again quoting teh book value of over 2000.00 on them, they never sold for that, best i ever seen was 780. 3 years ago.of course they all come from a smoke free home, there all perfect with no chips and they all have been stored in teh dark out of dust, not likely, some maybe, but few, anyone who has had that piece since 1977 has at one point showed it off in there home. so lets get real with prices if you want to sell, my advice is to keep them, wait til the market rebounds then sell, your giving them away if you sell them now. thanks
