: Dear Friends,
: Here is a link to Sam Gorden's article on RugLore with advice to new and potential collectors. It's worth a read.

Dear Collectors,
After having read Sam's article that, I believe, was written some years ago and also after having remembered a topic (paradigm shift) which was discussed here some weeks ago, my thoughts is swinging forth to back, back to forth...
I know somethings don't change in time and many things in Sam's article remain same. BUT, if we are not passing nearby a "paradigm shift"... In this connection, does the internet have an impact on collecting, buying rules, learning market prices to make reasonable buys, exchanging knowledges through this enhanced communication way, etc? However, the change is not in the main points but in the details. But if collecting too is passing nearby a paradigm shift, even a small change in details will have a big impact on the whole.
Regards,
Erol
