I noticed that there is a general trend in the depreciation of SSW statues especially among the big items. Those who frequent ebay will first notice that the infamous wiki has drop from its 1500 catogeroy to the 1K, and finally closing at sub 1K.
The most recent Sam and bill is also closed at sub 1k,

If you take a look at Virtual persepective, a number of the big ones, like Balrog has dropped from its 3k to hover arond 2K....the same goes for Aragorn statue, the Moria Orc Archer etc... I wonder if this is generally true for all SS products for other lines (SW, Buffty, Marvel etc).
Of course, there are exceptions for Orthanc is still standing at a very strong price (to my dismay, for I haven't got it yet) at 2k...cannot imagine an AP Balrog (which you don't see nowadays) has ever reached a staggering 3.8K USD!
If you are true collector, if you wouldn't be thinking of parting with your collection, but it will always feel good that your collection is really worth a bit in the market. IMO, the value of your collectibles are priceless regardless of how come it can be fetched in auctions right??
What are your views of this??
