now royal doulton have moved to the far east has my collection devalued?

Answer 1

Did you buy for investment or the joy of it? But, I wouldn't worry. Just sit back and wait.... and in the meantime check out the the figures that Royal Doulton fetches at Sotheby's:)

Answer 2

Alas, your collection devalued starting the day each piece arrived.

With a few exceptions, there's very little market for Royal Daulton items. Check the Collectibles section of ebay and you'll see lots with no bids at all, even though the starting bid is well below the item's original purchase price.

I don't know if the move further devalues the items you have, but maybe. In general, the rule for these is that their value is in the pleasure you derive from owning them, not in what you can get when you sell.
