In my opinion, it's totally unpredictable, although right now it is a buyers market due to the economic conditions in this country.
I always feel bad, as a collector, when another collector is forced to sell their collection during rough times (and I think we've all experienced that). But the bright side is that, unless you own something extraordinarily rare, you can purchase that same card or cards sometime in the future.
I can't count the number of times I've had to sell stuff, only to be able to retrieve it in the future. I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly have an emotional attachment to certain cards.
