I would agree that the times of being able to sell your used Stern for more than you paid NIB are over. For those who don’t remember the pre-COVID market where your used Stern was worth $500-1000 less than NIB price when you sold it a year later, we will likely return to that market. That’s really how it should be though, this recent market has been an anomaly.
Less speculators and flippers in the market is a good thing, IMHO.
