Skeeter,
Many of the items we collected over the past 40 years plus years, have been on the decline over the past 6 years or so. Hot items are still silver mounted bits and spurs, maker marked wrist cuffs and some holsters and belts. Really fancy spot or concho decorated chaps are also in demand. I'm almost 70 and sitting on many collections, within my collection. Cowboy gear, guns, antique ammunition, etc., you name it and I probably have it. I collected this stuff, because I was younger and had a passionate love for the old west. Now, I have started selling off a lot of items, simply because I have other interests and with over 2000 pieces in these collections, it is tough to take care of. Many of my items have never been seen by the public in almost 50 years. I have not had a problem selling, but I see that it has slowed down in the past several years and the buyers only want the best.
