Meanwhile the current guitar market relies on convincing lots of guitarists that already have lots of guitars that they absolutely have to have the new one, which further fuels the used market because not everyone can afford to keep everything they buy so the seek the previous purchases to find the other. I suspect this is all part of the way the used market has exploded in the last 20 years or so - in the 90s second hand guitars are bought from guitar shops and the local classifieds, so it was much more of as niche market and it's now a huge global peer to peer thing.
