What happened to the used Sled market

I’d say the opposite, the market is hot and used sleds are moving quickly.
even new sled sales are ahead of dealer expectations.
But you also have to factor in actual sled production numbers...i.e., if they produce 40% less sleds than a previous year it will look like they're doing well when they sell out...

All forms of power sports and outdoors stuff in general is red hot. PPL are buying everything up like they did with toilet paper in spring. Same with real estate. Actually vehicles too.
In a year or 2 everything will be dirt cheap because many ppl will find out they overspent on their impulse buying.
I already told my wife, save your pennies, up north real estate might be dirt cheap in a couple years.

Nothing around here and if there is it’s overpriced junk... edge chassis sleds listed for 2500-3000. I just want a 13 newer Indy 600 to upgrade my trail sled to and I can’t find anything. If there is one listed it’s $6500 and has 5000 miles. No thanks, a few years ago you could buy a leftover Indy 600 for $6500 I’m not paying that... those sleds just aren’t worth that especially when the fully loaded pro s/x models are the same price used.
Anything used and powersport is overpriced right now! My son sold his 12 MXZ TNT for $600 more than he paid 3 seasons ago. The problem was he needed a sled....he wanted to pay over $10k for a 2yr old used sled, I convinced him to buy new(leftover 2020 Backcountry) and financed the balance with me. Just didn't make sense to buy used. Same goes for trucks right now, I'm considering selling my 15 F150 for a leftover 2020.

Pre-ordered 2021 sleds are gold this year.
Late, but gold.
Had offer of $1,800 more than I paid for my 850 Gade X with new X suspension.
No snow on Jan 1 and its gone.

Yeah everything’s hot - new and used. People are paying over MSRP at some dealers for snowcheck back-outs. And they have lines of people to call for every back-out.

yea thats what i thought a year ago there were Apex's available 2011 and up all over the place from $3500 to $5500 depending on year i think i will stay with what a have for another year when the market hopefully will come back down Real estate is crazy high too its a sellers market right now but i figured with Covid and people losing their jobs would be looking for quick cash and the toys would be the first to go guessed wrong.
If this is true can I get this guy's number? I got some beach front property in the desert for him.
1. Interest rates are at an all time low.
2. Social distancing and outdoor activities are at an all time high.
The used boat market here in MN was outrageous this past spring and summer. I was bidding on boats 20 minutes after listing, securing a deal over the phone only to have the boat sold out from under me while I was in transit.
I sold a 2012 Skidoo Renegade 600 with 4200 miles for $4800 in September. $300 more than I paid for it one year prior. The buyer contacted me in less than a day and paid asking price.... guess I left money on the table.
