I managed to score some very nice pieces within
the past 2 months at very nice prices from the
series that I like.

But, I, like everyone else, agree that it has
gotten slow.  The problem with the Holiday period
is that you will find some nice ones, but the
prices are WAY WAY WAY overpriced and I wouldn't
want to buy them because I don't like the feeling
of being jipped.  I already made that mistake last
year by not waiting for a better deal.  :-(

My philosophy is, if you can't find what you want
at a great deal, then it is much better to save
your money.
