So my therapist says.
"luthier built partscaster" Dave down the road has soldered the pickups into your Encore last year & now he's put your Thomann kit together. This doesn't make him a Luthier anymore than my being 1990 under 10s 50m freestyle swimming champion makes me a fish.
But I'd stopped playing electric guitar live in a band, the music I am doing suits a different type of guitar, and that particular guitar was so very associated with the band I used it in that I somehow found it difficult to want to use it for anything else.
Not saying that applies to everyone who is selling 'the best guitar they've ever owned', but it might. For what it's worth I didn't advertise it with that claim, I just put it in the shop and it sold. No big deal, I just moved on.

"absolutely devastated to be selling this, absolutely the best guitar I've ever owned but my car blew up / budgie died / boiler exploded and I need the cash. £1000. May also trade for a custom shop strat".
And those more expensive ones are the better ones :-) So, when I am forced to sell something, it is no surprise that the better ones are going out the door.
Would bet that most of people are in same/similar situation.
Maybe it is different for people with a bunch of more expensive guitars. If someone`s having 15 Les Paul Standards, from approximately same period of manufacture, he will surely not sell the best one, as it would be worth the same as another LP he is having.
