It's a good question. I think that the vintage market is dependent on the over all economy in general so it'd be tough to predict. I'm always surprised when items that I would have never thought would appreciate, start to. For example, if you had asked me 20 years ago if I thought a '70's 3-bolt neck Fender would be selling for a few thousand bucks today, I would have said no. Having said that, I would still have trouble imagining that an MIM or plain MIA will ever see much appreciation but I've been wrong before and will be again.
