I think the main issue is ebay, not caramel scarcity...

I agree. Ebay has alienated too many sellers.

The economy has a bit to do with it as well. If I had a bunch of newly found e94s that I wanted to sell, I wouldn't sell them right now.

If I did sell them, the last place they would go right now is ebay.

Caramels have taken a bigger hit than most types these past two years.

I am seeing the same thing, last year I picked up 8 cards for my E93 set and have seen very little this year, other than BINs, in the condition I am looking for. I think I have added one card so far this year.

Default the other thing

If you did buy caramel cards 2-4 years ago this might not be a good time to sell them and try to recoup your money.

Default Folks, If you haven't guessed it by now

I'm for converting Investor/Flippers into Curators or possible Collectors.

These may not be the best of times, but if it weeds out some of the non hobby participants involved in what is suppose to be a sublimation ... Hobby Collectors will benefit.

A good example is right here on this forum.
A good forum, but a little top heavy with investors, another group that really believes that they're collectors, flippers, and a small cadre of collectors.

You can tell the difference between the two by reading a thread.
If it's deep into the card, and it grabs you ... Collectors are involved.

It is impossible to miss The Wall Street mind set thread.

To have all of the above involved in a forum is not a crime ... what I'm saying is, we need to tip the balance more towards the collectors.

The collecting part has been too diluted.

Default Dr. Koos

Excuse my ignorance and off topic shoot, but who is Dr. Koos? This is the second or third time I have seen this Dr. mentioned somewhere recently.

I thought that was funny ...

Sorry he didn't ask for the price, because that would've reinforced what I was talkin about.

Leon, you're gonna have to do somethin about dat search engine.
The diggers want to know about Dr Koos, and brain pickin is all they know.
