  Once everyone has at least one family member
or friend that knows about ebay camera auctions
then good stuff won't turn up in garage sales
for $5 or go in the trash, it'll go to ebay.

  Thus I suspect there will be more classic
cameras showing up all the time and the market
for them may not grow as fast (due to increasing
use of digital cameras for example). If so, then
prices will remain stable or fall.

  So a macro realist will never auction for $100
but Realist 3.5's may well go back below $100.

My opinion only - Greg E.
