Nothing I’ve purchase in the musical instrument field, to include guitars, amps, outboard equipment, PA gear, etc. was ever purchased as an investment…

Who/what are you responding to

It's ALL because of the Federal Reserve.

Yep. Dog shit monetary policy for the better part of 40 years.

Print money, devalue everyone’s currency…it’s the American way.

Everything is expensive as shit here in the U.K. also. A lot of my stuff I got used but even on the used market, everything is basically double or more what I paid for it. Seems like the tipping point was about 5ish years ago.

I guess I don’t really need more stuff anyway.

What happened 5 years ago?

Oh yeah, a globally organized “pandemic” used to coordinate the largest upward shift of wealth in our lifetimes….all on the backs of normal folks, aka tax cattle.

Yeah, a lot of prices are ridiculous these days. Off the charts in many instances. I don't make big money anymore. My guitars were reasonably priced when I bought them. Also, 4 of them were free: 3 when my friend passed away. Another friend gave me a Martin. For the ones I buy, if the hardware on them is great, then I'm all set. I also snag some guitars that I know will be monsters after I hot rod them. I used to be a tech, so gettin' 'em ready for battle is easy.

Same here. I buy them because I like them.

A few years ago, a friend of mine in the U.K. said Marshalls both new and used, were much less money than over here in the states, which makes perfect sense. Have those gone up as well?

The sales world in about every catagory has slowed like molasses in Februrary.
I do 500 mile searches for gear every day and its been the same overprices chump-change stuff for months and nothing is selling.
Good thing we got a "businessman" in charge.

I don't know man. I've seen plenty of good sales in our Classifieds forum with great prices. And why are you searching on gear up to 500 miles away and why is everything Trump's fault? I guess everything was great for you during the Biden era

Sorry @IndyWS6 - I shouldn't have perpetuated the political BS

Top tier delusion I would guess

@op, meh. Everything fun and cool that I liked to do basically doubled in price in 2 years during Covid. Everything has basically consistently gotten worse my entire adult life and I’m guessing that continues until something crashes or gets reset in some way
