    That post needed more emojis. Most readers' sarcasm meters are not strong enough without lots of them.

    I think this is the reason guitars are a bad investment. There is the idea of buying a bargain, maybe cleaning it up and flipping it for a profit. But that is really a business, not a passive investment.

    Investments are things that have a return, like a dividend. Buying guitars and never regularly selling some at a profit is not investing. It is just spending money.

    Some buy in the hope that their guitars will be a hedge against inflation: their values will rise as the value of money falls. These investors are usually disappointed.
