I have been a car guy all my life so it seems kind of natural that I would be interested in gas station related items, particularly (for me) old pumps. I also agree with many of you that think prices will eventually hit a peak and drop back. There was a time when visible pumps were heavily sought after but the demand seems to have dropped off and prices for the more common models seem to have come down some. Now the demand for clock face pumps is high but this is sure to diminish as well. I also believe that at some point demand for the lowly pumps from the 60's and 70's will increase as owners of muscle cars from that era try to "accessorize" their collection. I don't think these pumps will ever demand the prices we are seeing today for the older pumps but I more often wrong than right. It is important to remember that there are a very large number of car enthusiasts out there and this alone suggests that the stuff we collect will remain collectible for a long time to come. Let me conclude by saying that I collect because I love this stuff and if the price of pumps comes down than that only means I can afford more for my collection. Now the price for signs is another story and one, I will admit, I simply do not understand.
