[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, MCM has never been "out." A ridiculous comment.[/quote]

Eh. You couldn’t give away MCM furniture in the 1980s-1990s.

Like all styles it’s a generational thing. The boomers like my parents went big time for either traditional Georgian or country styles. I remember my parents’ friends paying 4-6k for an antique cabinet or chest of drawers that you’d be lucky to sell for 1k today. I imagine the same will happen with MCM antiques down the road. High prices today, but unfashionable in 20 years. [/quote]

Exactly. MCM was super out of style in that time period. When you see lots of the same style of stuff at goodwill, that's right before it will start to come back into style. Usually takes about 2-3 years. So in 2020 all the stuff that's super out of style now will start coming back. Heck, if you read Elle Decor and etc, you'll see that florals and plaids are creeping back in. But if you go to Goodwill right now there are tons of floral and paid couches and armchairs that people can't sell. [/quote]
