around it all ... a lot

As an example, on the situation on the antiques market in Germany in 30 years.
In the 80s - 90s of last century, the well-being in Germany has reached unprecedented heights.
"Children of War", the defeated, have reached adulthood and have gained a lot of money.
Important prerequisites for the development of the antique market in the face ... and the market pulled.
At that time, prices for German and European paintings, antique furniture 18th - 19th centuries, antique PDI went up no worse than the Russian antiques in the 2000 - 2007. Auction houses, "crying" with happiness.
The years go by "children of war" go to another world, the collection are the heirs.
Recently, auction houses, "crying", but no joy.
These collections are the heirs ago, during the auction houses, where mothers and fathers of 20 - 30 years ago bought the masterpieces of German tradition and spread the old, original account to purchase items on the table. Naturally they want at least nominally to return his money, "ancestors" back.
And then there are all sorts of ethical problems. Prices have fallen, usually in 2 - 3 times. Some subjects, especially the DPI and furniture, leftist or "tuning" of the old items with little value ..... etc.
What do auction houses?
Reluctantly teeth exhibit these items up for auction (you can not completely lose "face"), just knowing that they will not leave.
The question whether the new generation under the impression that as a "flying" their ancestors, to invest in art?
