some day when those people who spent over $100,000 on their "collection" find out their "investment" didn't appreciate, they will be out all that money when they could have used the money to wisely invest

I sold a house in '95 and ran into that same problem. I wasn't misled, I just gambled that the value of something I liked and, so, purchased, would increase, but the dice rolled a different way. There are folks around right now who are gambling fortunes in confidence that traditional realism is "back". It's been suggested more than once that some of the more prominent (and wealthy) of those people aren't so much afficionados of realism as they are shrewd (or at least, hopeful) investors. It's risky, but more power to them. I hope they take a shine to my realistic paintings (or even my reproductions) before the market crashes. (Just some inside information between us, my paintings are absolutely guaranteed to increase in value by over 800% in no time at all.)
Gone again, see you after the next 3,000 miles.
Cheers,
