For years I have berated myself for "buying too much stuff that I never use and that, in reality, hardly ever see and I need to sell most of it..."; huh. Now my stash is looking better to me as getting more is going to get harder, more expensive - or both. When it is made. If it is made.
I'll also raise my prices....
Joking aside, we may be seeing the perfect storm (sorry for that worn-out cliche) in our 3RO hobby. I am not concerned about the future health of the other scales; they will survive better - younger, cheaper, less grumpy.
Fewer and fewer of us around to buy items, many of those of us left have everything, "been there, done that", and now the Supply part of Supply and Demand (cliche, again) has caught a cold to go along with the one that the Demand side has been fighting for a few years. The interaction may prove to be interesting. Or not.
You know the old, supposedly Chinese (fitting) curse: "May you live in interesting times".
