Having recently purchased some quality ukes over the past few months or so and putting two on the market (hoping to sell one of those to part finance my first commissioned instrument) it would seem that even quality ukuleles do not hold their value well. This has not been my experience with guitars.
Is the lesson to be learnt here that, if you commission a new ukulele build from a quality builder, you either better be prepared to keep it or be willing to take up to a 40% drop in value in the first 1-2 years. And that for uke builds that also have a long wait time for delivery.
Do those who have been buying and selling ukes for many years find this to be true? Do we truly pay for our sins (UAS)?
