Is new gear prices soaring?

Friedman prices here in Europe ; 2 years ago I bought a second hand BE 100 Deluxe (3 months old). I looked at the prices new and they were less than 4000 Euro then. Last year no increase but since a couple of months now it's 4750 Euro. The ASM 12 is more than 1600 Euro now, a couple of months ago it was 1200..

Last year I bought two Dimarzio pickups, now for the same pickup more than 20 Euro for each one.

Maybach guitars also (now 2300 for a Lester '59).

I saw an increase in the last 6 months for a lot of brands.

But if I list a guitar for sale I get offers by guys who still think we're in the previous century...

After buying and selling guitars and guitar related stuff through the years it doesn't matter how low my price have been. Some still want to buy it for less and except me to accept that price and be happy and they are doing me a favor-attitude. I always ignore them.

I agree 100 %.
