Kind of related to the thread on tariffs, I've noticed that the resale market seems soft these days. There are some fantastic ukuleles in the marketplace that aren't moving like they would have in the not too distant past, (at least as I recall how things were.)
Obviously, that's not directly related to tariffs, though those of us in the US have to anticipate that our expenses for other things are going up, so we might have to shift money around from ukuleles to other things.
But, what do you all see as factors in the slow UU Marketplace? Do we all have all the ukuleles we want, and we've tried all the ukuleles we've wanted to try? Are fewer people wanting to buy ukuleles overall, (is the popularity on the decline?)
Or...what?
I'm surprised that the Kinnard is still there, along with a couple Collings, and a Hoffman, and many others. Seems like they're mostly priced reasonably.
