I think that will, unfortunately for me, change pretty soon.  I sell&#x2F;repair old watches, and horological tools.<p>I am seeing the price of used watchmakers tools, and mechanical watches(Omega Seamaster, Tudor(a cheaper Rolex), and pretty much every high end watch go up in price.  Hell, even Elgin&#x27;s, and Bunrus watches are going up faster than I want.<p>I used to be able to go to EBay, and CL and scoop these watches, and tools up.  Not anymore.  I thought the smart watch would put an end to mechanical watches; so far it&#x27;s been the absolute opposite, but might change if they ever get a smart watch so right--the people with money need to wear it?<p>As to furniture--I think it&#x27;s just time?  Why buy IKEA, when you can buy an antique that you can give to your kids?  The IKEA will go to the Craigslist free curb route?<p>I take that back.  Some of you would give a friend&#x2F;relative an IKEA piece? My father once gave me his old underware.  He meant well--I think?  Oh, and his old Sears tube socks.  They were so worn, the elastic strands  were beyond broken--the polymers couldn&#x27;t keep their positive&#x2F;negative charge.  I thought I could use them to polish my truck, but they just didn&#x27;t even work for that.  My dad meant well--just very frugal.  Or, a fool?  I haven&#x27;t quite figured it all out?
