I wouldn't even bother with CRTs anymore, everyone sells even the crappy ones for like $500 or something stupid.

Even if interest is still high or increasing, I don't think there'll be a price explosion any time soon. They can only go so high in this economy where people are about to not be able to afford healthcare and basic needs.
What happens with the Voodoo 1 cards on eBay is usually a pretty good benchmark imo since they pop up more infrequently than the Voodoo 2 or 3. The Voodoo 1s listed at 200-300 have been there some time, but the ones 100-200 usually sell within a few days. So there's still a point that people aren't willing to go above.

Voodoo 1's didn't last for long before people wanted better than 640x480 resolution. The sweet spot for gaming was Voodoo 2 SLI (for 1024x768 but pricey) and Voodoo 3's which vary by model and interface.

Depends on how we measure a decrease. Prices are not dropping, but also aren't increasing that much, like it was during the rise of retrohardware Youtube reviews.
