Regarding new I bought a new strandberg and sold it 2 years later for more no its not as cut and dry as you say.
You've also got to factor in inflation.
If you bought a Lowden for £1600 (new) in 2007... and sold it today for £1650, you'd be making a loss in real terms. One of the online inflation calculators suggests you'd have to sell it for £2,276 - just to break even.
That said, you'd have had the joy of owing the Lowden for 12 years... and there aren't many items that we buy that hold on to so much of their value when sold second hand.

Now they seem to go for £800+
To me, even if you lose a bit when you sell a guitar on you would generally have enjoyed the experience of owning it and have learnt a lot in the process. You would have to pay more than the loss for getting that sort of enjoyment elsewhere. That's what I try to tell Mrs. GTC anyway.
BTW, when I last looked that very same Guild F20 lefty was for sale again on Reverb for over £1,000
Wow... when was that, Mr Waz?
You did well sir!
I know MBs weren't up at £6.7k then (as many of them are now)... but that was still a great price in 14/15.
PRS 305 cost me £1k, Guitar Village offered me the same in trade in. I am sure it will go for more if i sell.
PRS SC58, cost me £2k but honestly I can't price it because i will never sell it.
My Palir Titan cost me £1100 - They sell for £2500 on World Guitars.
Taylor T5 at sale for £1399. I think a new one is £2500 so I won't lose much.
I think I paid about £2k for the Gibson Custom Shop Class 5. It will go for at least that much I expect.
All in all, I would say I am in profit.
