I got into collecting guitars and effects around 6-ish years ago when I was 14 and have always had a pretty active buying/selling account on reverb, ebay and facebook where I’d tend to make terrible financial choices *cough, cough hatsune miku pedal* but always get what I paid back or just a little more if I was lucky, but in recent months specifically it feels almost like the market is drying up a little. Prices are as high as they’ve ever been, and with some nicher stuff you’re starting to see that all time high waiver but yet people don’t really seem to be buying stuff too, me included!
In my opinion, I feel like the current looming recession, followed by the combination of an insane cost of living crisis and interest rates going through the roof are causing a lot of people to hold onto what they have now, unsure of what’s going to happen in the coming while.
And just to preface too, I’m not a full time Trogly-esque trader haha, don’t have the time nor the resources to spend all my time scouring pages to ruin the market further, I just like trying out funky gear and I’m annoyed that it’s taking longer and longer to find weird gear 🙁
