I expect, the longer this continues, the more likely it will be that people will have to downsize their collections to cover their basics, resulting in some excellent deals. Then. when things pick up, people will be able to shop again to restart their projects or round out their collections.

You are exactly right, you wouldn't believe the deals I've gotten just this last week. I'm talking 60% off. It's going to get really tough on some, with the stay at home orders, the only jobs are the essentials, the rest are left with unemployment benefits, which doesn't pay the bills. Everyone knows, I don't have too spell it out with more negativity.
In addition, from what I'm hearing from around the country, from the front line Doctors, nurses, and first responders, that I personally know, it's going to get a lot worst before it gets better.

Can't agree with you more Rich. Until this blows over, it's looking pretty bleak for a lot of good people. It's no different than days past, our parents, and grandparents, went through a pandemic, a depression, and 3 wars, they did what they had too do, and because they stood tall, helped one another, and endured, here we are! Now it's our turn, too stand tall, help one another, and ENDURE!
It's not the end of the world or our time, it's just a catch in our get along!
Help one another, pray for one another, this too will pass!
