Not so rude, Paul. There are many impoverished millionaires. Their example makes us think how to be saved, literally, from the unexpected fate. Bank may burst, "moth and rust" spoil the treasure, thieves steal. But the picture, as the manuscripts, which do not burn ... They saved their value. Never mind that people buy art, guided by, inter alia, and mercantile considerations.

I do not think that in this case, greed is bad, the opposite well. Sometimes the sale of the collection can save from Razzorenov. Once again, sell for a price anywhere else.

It seems to me that this peculiar disease. It's like a casino game, like a morning cigarette, like a beautiful woman ... You just lose control and get lost ...
And to buy now just because you can not not buy it without thinking about how much it will cost in some future there. Collecting - this is not business, this way of life (of life), hobbies ... If you are buying, to hide until better times, but not to enjoy every day, that too is a disease, but quite another kind ...

And that's fine too. Maybe even better. Such altruists little and usually have no money, unfortunately.
