Some serious collectors with lots of cash, and some dealers/speculators hoping to find bargains they could resell. As you know, last year's high sale was $5.5 million, and this year's was only $1.6 million. The gossip on the street was that prices were down between one-third and one-half compared to the past two years. That's what general economic uneasiness will do to this kind of discretionary market....
