I don't have the book, but as I recall Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet, in his biography "Violin Dreams" says that a classic violin he had greatly appreciated in value. He sold it, and in a few years tried to buy it back from the guy he sold it to, but it was impossible, because it was worth many times what he sold it for. He said that there had been some kind of violin craze making the price of instruments skyrocket. He gave the impression that it was a new phenomenon. I think this was in the 80s. Apparently they are still skyrocketing. This is the best I could find...
