I see it as a buyer's market here in the U.S. Not even a close call IMO, actually. It's interesting because the economy and employment are still quite strong. There's a lot of hand-wringing over inflation, which is a real thing, though I think it's being a bit exagerrated for political purposes. It is a presidential election year, after all. But I do think higher housing costs have cut disposable income for many. In the end, though, I suspect the flagging guitar market has more to do with a hangover from the pandemic boom than anything else, and we're seeing a reversion to the mean.
Selling online at cheap prices in the USA is slowing down. It is a buyers market, in my view. I learned to entertain buyers and caution them to NOT assume a used item can be had for really cheap. In the USA, we do have a lot of choices in cheaper guitars, but one must know which are well-made guitars.

Good points.... there are still deals to be had and it might not be as bad as the doom-sayers like to paint it.

Well said!
