current market for flamenco guitars
Is it really that bad ? Or is it only in Germany? I put up my amazing 1F Extra sanchis for 2400 then reduced it to 2000 euros, since I want to buy an old Conde from a friend, and still no buyers. This would have been sold in 1 sec. few years ago. I guess people are holding back with any kind of buy these days. Is it different in US or elsewhere?

I was just telling Andy Culpepper about this last night. It has been HORRIBLE here. I even did a 50% discount recently, and STILL nobody bought anything. The economy is in dire straits...

RE: current market for flamenco guitars (in reply to Arash)
honestly I always found the middle market problematic. Like "cheap" guitars below 2k always move, and then collectables above 5K always people on the lookout. Many people were interested in my Sanchis, but those people were thinking I would let the thing go for $1500 or so. No thanks. It was always very valuable to me as my travel guitar that functions like a concert level instrument. But it would be dishonest of me to push the price tag up to around 3k.

$1500 or so. No thanks.
Yeah no way. It's price was 3400 brand new, plus I even included a fiberglas case which was around 240 bucks and some other extras, still no buyer. I will just remove the listing and keep it. Times change and since Sanchis bros closed doors, they will go up again. Plus I think I have one of the really good ones

It's true. I am selling my Sobrinos de Esteso 1973 media luna blanca, which is a good guitar with a beautiful sound and perfect setup. But the fretboard was repaired before and it is unsigned. I asked for about 5000 Euros including shipping, but no one wants to pay for it.
