A slow time to be selling militaria?

I have noticed here and on other forums that it appears to be a slow time for selling items and I wondered if others had noticed the same thing?
Is this the result of the economic downturn affecting many countries or is it a general decline in interest due to declining numbers of collectors?
I know that many items were overpriced in the past but even allowing for a drop in market value it still seems that things are selling slowly.
I know on this forum we have a number of younger collectors, which the lack of is often listed as one of the reasons for a decline.
Are people only buying high end items or are people only trying to buy bargains, or is it more that many are only interested in Helmets, Tunics, medals and SS items and there is less interest in other items?

Any thoughts?
