List prices haven’t gone up, such as I’ve noticed, but discounts that were easily available pre-pandemic aren’t available now due to limited inventories. I’d imagine that as inventories get back to normal, the dealers that would discount before will do so again. Over the long run, list prices will go up, as they always have. Used prices are a whole other thing. If there’s a glut of instruments after the pandemic, prices will drop. I don’t know if there will be or not...
