Some shopkeepers just like to surround themselves with their collections.
Been there and seen it.  If something is priced sky high and doesn't sell for
10 years you can be sure it isn't really "for sale." If everything is sky
high, then one can conger up all sorts of pop psychology explainations.  There
is a really interesting (to me) correlation between sky high prices and the
business being a mess to look at.  Anyone disagree?
