There will always be demand for high end collectibles. All that online sharing has done is reduce the number of collector's willing to pay top dollar for the bootlegs.
You can not share via internet the feeling you have when you dig a gem in the used bins .Quote

... Elvis fans die, that was the explanation. Nothing to do with sharing stuff online for free.

A couple of people on this forum have stated that they have very rare recordings of the Stones that they will not put online because the recordings will lose not monetary value, but value as an article of exchange. These collectors apparently trade rare recordings within their limited circle.

Well, we certainly have 'devalued' life by putting a price tag on everything; by making everything (a) 'business'.
Then you get expressions (no offence, please!; nothing personal) like "sharing for free" (I believe something like that is called a pleonasm, isn't it?); whereas it should simply read "sharing" - period.
Because "sharing at a cost" would not be 'sharing'; that would be sélling.
And too bad a collector's hobby/ passion has (had to?) become - and therefore is called, like everything else these days - "a market".
But these are just a couple of loose observations of a (probably) naïve 'old-fashionato'...
So I'll get my coat now.

Yeah I remember the old days at record-fairs with dudes getting
around with those books that listed the value of collectable records
.... thought about getting one for myself until I found out that some of the
guys who published them devalued lots of rare records until they found
a copy for themselves and then by the next edition the prices of those
records they'd found had gone through the roof ...... HHHHHHHAAAAA SLY cheatin' bastards .... Ya gotta laugh don't ya
