Hi Larry,
Every so often Antiques Roadshow airs an episode taped 10-15 years ago, and after the expert estimates the value, they will show you what that same piece is worth today. Only rarely is something worth more, and the vast majority of the pieces will have lost 25-50% of their value. Also, any antique collector I have spoken with has the same pessimistic response: the market is dead. I'm sure you can always find someone who feels otherwise.
