I purchased my house to live in and not really as an investment as such. Since the purchase, we saw a bust and now we are going through another boom in our area. So I have seen the value of our home go down and come back up. Either way...it’s OK with me...it’s to live in. My sign collection is the same way. I purchased the old original signs because I like them and not as a major investment. It’s “cool” if they go up in value...but I really just like them and love my garage. It makes going out to get in my truck and returning home each day a real treat!
