I agree with UBIK. Figure it this way - if everyone put their antique cars up for sale tomorrow, what would happen to prices? Its the same with anything. The only way I think you can argue that the prices are going up in this scenario [scenario: more big studios closing] is perhaps (1) inflation (2) popularity of the item or (3) uninformed buyers offset plus or minus by (1.a) supply. Does supply go up because more studios are closing or down because the gear is older and thus less is around? In either case - studios closing wouldnt help diminish supply.

Typical demand vs. supply...but certainly supply seems to be rising (in your example) and thus, you need to be really jacking up demand for some other reasons to get those prices rising.
