Snookie, absolutely.
When a dealer buys inventory it is usually to stay up with the market and the things that are "hot" at the moment also.
Believe me I could go thru my inventory and state exactly when it was.
Thing is no one knows completely the different variables so it is pretty much all a gamble.
A dealer can have a whole bunch of something sitting till one day Martha decides to do a spot on the item and zoom it goes.
Economics play huge roles as well. Dealers have items I can promise they paid more than they can now get.
An old time dealer and I mean 120 years total in family dealings of selling antiques swears it is a 20 year cycle.
I so hang on to that.
Proper storage is everything to keeping inventory nice and making some sort of profit.
It is just really important to conserve and appreciate old things.
