If it's a good one and it's been fed and watered correctly, it should go
UP in value, not down.
They ain't going to get any cheaper to build.
Try getting a Strad cheap on the grounds that it's a couple of hundred
years old or second hand!
Each one is hand built and unique (really, each one is a one-off).
Cars rot away, HGs just mature.
See what Sylvain bought to bring back to life for around the same price as
the kit (I think it was around the same?)

Subject: [HG] hurdy gurdy resale value
What is the resale situation on a professional quality instrument? If we
invest thousands to get one made by a luthier then decide that we do not
want it (possibly we are totally inept as a musician but were too
stubborn to realize that sooner) will it keep value, or will there be a
drop in value, or will it be worth more than we paid for it?
I get the impression that if one needs to wait a year to have a nice one
made that to resell it folks might be kind of happy and anxious to pay
something for the time saved.
Back to the car analogy, when you buy any car it is worth less than you
agreed to pay once you leave the car lot. It is also my impression that
the more one can afford to purchase an expensive car the more likely that
either 1) they don't drive very well or 2) they have enough money for a
driver.
Is a quality gurdy a sound investment? [pun
intended]
thnx,
Gabriel
