You know  you're in a recession when you can place modest bids on two 
Mickey Katz  Victors ($6.77 each) and win them.  A couple of years ago,
any purple 
label Yiddish or Klez Victors on Reiss's list would have gone for about
three 
times that.

Same story for me on the recent Nauck auction.  More winners from  my
usual 
batch of low-ball bids than in years.

Afraid I can't say the same--MY (relatively) low-ball bids on some
operatic vocals got me zippity-doo-dah-nada-not-a-bloody-thing in the
latest Naucktion.  First time I've gotten skunked on a Kurt auction in a
long time.  Not a unhappy camper, but not exactly pleased either.
