I’ve heard this referred to as price memory. There was a moment in time where market forces, legitimate or not, pushed instrument values through the damn roof. Retailers are loathe to let prices return to normal, and people that bought these instruments want to recover as much of their cash as possible. This happens in a lot of hobbies.
Look for a series of price corrections in late december/January. I’m in the industry and that’s what all our indicators are telling us. Lots of inventory will be available, container rates are back to normal, and manufacturers will be trying to keep margins up until Jan 1 when everyone’s budgets and goals reset. After that everyone will be trying to undercut their competitors.
