But is there anything out there selling quickly?
It's always easier to sell Gibson and Fender....and
only Gibson and Fender...because those brands have a larger, mass-market brand. People who aren't gear heads usually will buy one of those two brands. I know a few successful high-end gear stores and I know they will only stock
one used PRS at a time because they take forever to find an educated buyer for. When they get used Kolls or Mellacons, they rarely sell for more than $1K, which means the stores have to get a rare, incredible deal in order to bother with them.
TGP sellers can bitch all they want, the guitar isn't selling, the price is too high.
There are two ways to handle that....
1) If one can afford to sit on it to wait for just the right customer who is searching for that guitar, then they can leave the price as is and when it sells... then it sells. ("I don't need to sell and it's only worth selling to me *if* I get this price").
Or 2) one can reduce the price and move the product ("must make room for the 2015 models!").
