The rules are in place for a reason, john100. Please don't make me edit any of your posts for this reason again.
Beebop, I've also edited yours and give you the same warning. Please re-read the rules. Not only is this NOT the place to solicit sales, but you do not have enough posts or tenure to do so.

I see Colonial Acres recently released few 2007 items: The 2007 Baby keepsake set sold near to $560 the 2007 Silver dollar with CD now on CAD 175 with zero bids.
Do they know something, that caused them to put the items on sale?

Dealers buy from collectors and resell.
Do they keep products for 7 years hoping to time the market? Maybe. Unlikely, but maybe.
I have a wish list with C/A and old products become available for sale all the time. I assume because they have bought them from someone else.
I don't see anything unusual here.

I wrote about previously, but I see today, that already 3-rd time in sequence, the C/A lists 2007 Baby Set (with CD). Once a week. I think, that they have some other related items. So looks like, they've bought and now reselling some bunch of them, or just waited for 7 years (which sounds less real).

Successful dealers stay in business by SELLING coins, not holding them.

 But this doesn't explain, where they got them from? Or might be RCM or CP sometime do "close sales" for friends and family, liquidating very old stuff, that suddenly found on the shelves of their storage facility?

My son born in 2007, when I shown to my wife auction for 2007 RCM Baby set, she told "useless junk, better spend these money for toys or something else, that the kid really needs" She is right...finally I bought relatively inexpencive set with 2007 Silver Dollar and CD...which is also kind of "junk", but let it be.
