I have almost no knowledge of economics so I decided to ask you here. Sorry for tags but I didn't have any idea what should I use.
Some things loss its value due to quality and functionality increase. They can even went out from usage as an effect of a major technological evolution. However, over many years such things can get more and more expensive because they have some important historical value hence become a collectible. Examples: old typewriters, cars, sewing machines, Intel 4004 processors etc.
What's the name of this phenomenon (if any)?
