Default Collectors increasingly looking to turn possessions into cash

A lot of people are desperate, for awhile it was because of gas prices
but now it is just the overall bad economy
and job loss or being cut back to part time or loss of benefits that
are driving people to sell, many for whatever
they can get. Antiques Roadshow is fun to watch but many people
watch that and think they have something
worth a fortune but many times they don't.

In my area a local publication "Wheeler Dealer" has a huge number of
ATV's, snowmobiles, travel trailers etc.
for sale as people desperate for cash are trying to unload what they
don't really need.
