Absolutely! However I can only see armour becoming MORE valuable as time passes.
Sure they may not be in perfect shape, ammunition is scarce, fuel consumption prohibitive, etc, but just the threat value alone of having the only tank within a hundred miles has got to be worth something. Take Krakow for an example. Only about a third of their full tank strength is even mobile, however the immobile tanks are still worth more than their weight in gold as strongpoints, decoys, etc.
Aircraft are another item that could only increase in value. Fuel may be next to impossible to find, but just having one, and making it known to your enemies, forces them to adjust their plans to account for it, just in case you decide to burn the last few drops of avgas...
Supply and demand will always rule, no matter if it be T2K, the dark ages or even today, October 2009. Prices will usually be low in areas of great supply and extremely high where those same items are rare, provided of course there is demand (unlikely to be able to give away snow shoes in the tropics for example, no matter how rare they are).
