Official: The Recession is Over

The price of rare guitars has gone up for the first time since 2008.

The bad news is that you should have bought Blackie a couple of years ago.

Interesting that Martin rode the storm out whilst the prices on other brands dropped.

Man, would've been great if that were true. Judging by what I see on numerous classifieds, things just aren't selling despite some really great prices.
Bob, I reckon I should have bought that Dylan strat in 2007 then? ?

Dont know about the recession being over.
It would seem that people are cash strapped, not surprising when one considers the cost of living in SA.
Getting more and more difficult for many.
Guitars are not moving. I have had several guitars on the market for some time managed to sell one. Of course there are people who are buying a riend has just dropped over a 100k on a very nice Martin and about the same on a very nice Mandolin, so its not all doom and gloom.
