  Two things:
  
  1) Typical for this time of year. It will start to pick right after the elections.
  2) "It's the economy stupid." -James Carville

  The coin market is double nuclear. It has no top and is not affected by outside economic considerations.

  I listed a few Vams(raw and not super rare) over the weekend and already have several bids on them this morning.

  I generally peruse the 'Bay for paper money, and yes, prices and bids have fallen off quite a bit since the Spring. It is a good time to be a buyer, but I sure wouldn't want to sell into this market.

  Good coins still bring great prices. Odd stuff and not the typical album type of coins has really taken a hit. I have some nice stuff up this week and have some auctions with 35+ watchers and several people asking to buy it off of ebay. Its a good sign but I won't know till they end.

  I am also not seeing bidders bidding. It is like no one want low end coins, even at stupid low prices.
  
  Am I alone here? >>
  
  
  
  I am going to be honest with you... I looked at your inventory and I thought the prices were high by about 20%. Not 'stupid low'.
