This. As with many of these fabulous builders, they're not always good at the business side. The eb and flow seems to happen more often than the rest of the market. I've owned some absolutely wonderful acoustics by some of these luthiers, including Bourgeoise, and aside from the AGF community, they can be downright near impossible to sell - let alone get what you have into them.
