I think most of the responses here are more about their personal plans, and less about what they think that others will do.
But even so, count me as skeptical that a big hit to the stock market wouldn't impact the average cardboard collector.
I suppose we can debate the line where the average collector starts to feel it, even subconsciously. At 5% maybe not. But as you inch your way up to 10% and beyond, at some point, it seems like there has to be some impact, even if it's merely subconscious and psychological and just causes you to be a little less carefree and unfettered when it comes to bidding like drunken sailors in every auction that comes your way.
