Or folks simply find out that they can't bond long term with a particular builder's stuff. We all have our own personal quirks when it comes to fiddles - so there's no way any single builder will ever work for everyone.There is no brand or type of guitar that never goes up for sale no matter how perfect they are because people sometimes need funds more than guitars.
I'd guess that quite a few people subscribe to this thinking and end up holding on to guitars that they'd sell if they'd paid less for them. The same goes for wait time and peer opinion.In addition there is evidence that the value you place on something is related to the price paid. If something has a high enough value to you you don't sell it.
