Those are vintage Kabinets from the classic era. Those early one had special mojo that comands extra on the collector’s market 🤣
When new product is out of stock then used prices go up if the product is in demand. Also, because of worldwide inflation (caused by my US ), used gear sites have upped their percentage fees to sellers, and shipping costs are up. It's just bad news no matter how you look at it.
Wait!
What?
It”s YOUR United Stares 😮😮😮😮😮😮
That mays you a seriously powerful and influential dude! Better make sure I stay on your good side 😬
Well... I pay taxes continuously so that makes me part owner.

Hm inflation is not caused by the US buddy :).
No.
Just….no.
..perhaps in Fantastyland
UK inflation is directly linked to the energy issue, which is directly linked to Ukraine conflict and the cost of Covid.
Whilst I'd like to blame the US, I don't think its your fault....and as its your US, you personally
I have seen that with pedals, too. Recent pedals that you can just buy new go for 150% of the sales price on Reverb. Crazy times.
Just don't buy at those prices...
And yes, the USA is a victim of the same circumstances as the rest of the world. Energy prices, Putin, Covid, in general. Trump admin did reduce regs that caused overproduction and a glut on the market which caused oil prices to fall. Also, Covid reduce demand making the glut worse. This created a situation in which is was no longer profitable to pull oil out of the ground so many exited the business. Now we are all impacted.
You guys are being too forgiving to us Americans so I won't quibble with you. But I freakin quibble when I see new gear prices compared to a year ago. This shiite getting bad.
Its everything not just gear. I buy guitar strings for about $8.00 and when I do my yearly string change I sell the used ones for $8.50. Don't even get me started on what I charge for used guitar picks or used gum.

No. Really. The US didn't cause global inflation. Please don't believe that.
With love

I quite like you Americans so not gonna blame you for stuff that isn't your fault
Back to gera prices - yeah its not just gear, the cost of living in general has gone up, but it will balance out again...thats the nature of economics
Saw this the other day and my jaw dropped. This is more than double what I payed a few years ago. Just insane.
Well... I think it kinda goes like this:
I work in electronics and for the last 3 years it has been the new normal that volume part orders have a lead time of >1 year .... and then sometimes you don't even get them when they promised.
New prices are being forced up as well as the demand for chips allowed the chip OEM's to raise their prices so that pretty much everything goes up in price.
Oil prices in the US aren't in a horrible way anymore, but in Europe, the follow-on effects of the war and reliance on Russian oil/gas has had a big effect on everything there since transportation costs are linked to fuel prices which makes everything go up. Note: The shift to EV's SHOULD eventually put strong downward pressure on oil prices. I have heard an argument that it could go the opposite direction though and the oil producing nations will lower production to keep the prices high. My personal thought on this strategy is that it sounds like a great way to have oil demand dry up even faster as EV's become even more economical compared to ICE (internal combustion engines).
I know you fellas over the pond think we in the states are big babies when we cry about gas prices when they are >$4.00/gal. I have done a fair amount of travel in Europe and have been stunned at the prices of fuel there! IIRC it was around double when I figured out the euro/liter to dollar per gallon calculation. In Germany today, Google says gas is ~$7.14 / gal compared to $3.52 in the US. People in the US would flat out revolt at this price!
Strange how you never see an F150 in Europe
