Good question.. as my initial thought was the resale value.. but do/should WW spec really command that much more in relation to the spec they produce?

Here in the United States, I bought a Wildwood LP for $2700 used at Guitar Center and sold it for $5650 only 3 months later. It was a very lightweight guitar and absolutely amazing to play.

Take a look at WW inventory compared to others. Where do I begin?

Edit: OMG! I looked around at R8’s & R9’s. Right you are, lots to pick through and the price has dropped on used.

Softness in the market these days indeed. I sold a couple of amps recently and had to get pretty aggressive on pricing. I picked up a custom shop Strat recently for a decent price (not a killer deal price) and it was 4 years old and un-played.
