Yes, true, but... I still find plenty of things to entertain myself with. I don't flip them, but now they're turning French, which I avoided for decades. I have 5 nice frames sitting in my basement to build right now: 2 Italian, one Swiss and two French. Oh, and the Italian I took to get powder coated.

I mostly just look on ebay now. Mostly I lose, but sometimes I get killer deals. I don't know why. I don't take it too seriously. Believe me, I have way more desires than money!

Oh, I only mess with higher end European models from the 70s or before. I can't and won't work on junk. No fun at all.
