Sluggish economy

Is anyone holding back on a new purchase due to the recession, or are you using this time to make a good deal since the jewelry business is slow?

I am definitely using this time to make a good deal since the jewelry business is slow. I have a deal working on three Rolexes and a diamond ring. It is a great buyers market out there right now and probably will get even better next year.

things are along ways from hitting bottom. like allot of others i will have to wait until things get better. luxury items are getting harder and harder to sell and it will get worse before it gets better.

Holding back and waiting, until my portfolio at least partially recovers, then I'll buy.
