Good article. Used classical records are not something to be used for
investment purposes. Although I think the next couple years will be good times
to buy collectable classical records. Collectables markets are tricky things. I
remember all those people rushing to McDonalds to get Beenie Babies. Mc Donalds
mada a killing and left collectors with nothing special. Try getting your money
back on any modern trading cards. Even animation cels have proven to be dicey
investments. I wonder if the market on collectable jazz LPs will ever drop.
That still looks as good as real estate in terms of investment value. Of course
true collectors real interest in value is all about bragging rights. Hard core
collectors aren't usually willing to sell unless it is a means of supplementing
their collecting.
