I'm thinking about parts from the '70s and '80s.
Thanks.

IMHO the market for C&V is comprised mostly of older white guys. The pool of buyers is shrinking and that's why prices/interest have been dropping for many years. Lots of good product and pricing for those of us who are still interested.
I think most sellers are lucky to find a buyer who cares about the item and is willing to pay a fair price (which is pretty low these days).
Sell your stuff now. It'll be worth less next year.
Not trying to be a downer so I will end with 3 happy faces!
