Whoops....2 really necessary three letter words were missed during the speedy typing by my fingers - it should have read:

The stock market may be up...but ALL antiques are NOT going up with them at this time!

Golly, I wish my statement had such bearing on the antiques market! 
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Yeah, i was gonna say. The thing is, the top 10% & the bottom 10% sell very well and pretty much always do, it's the middle market which is aprox 80% of the market that suffers in a down turn.

Sadly, I just went to a fairly high end Victorian auction, and alot of the prices were atrociously low.
