Used market- what’s up with the prices?

High demand, short supply principle is good for free markets. That is the last thing we have going. With all the government stimulus, ubi bs, reparations talks who needs work? I work in constraction. Never in my 20 years in that field i had to turn the jobs down, because i dont have enough people to do it, like i do it on regular basis these days. A LOT of people dont wanna work, because it is more practical to get government "help". So in order to attract workers, you will have to compete with government and pay more. And that will result in higher prices across the board.

Your personal / anecdotal experience is just that.

That is a weird response. What data do you prefer me to use??? I know a trucking company owner who couldn't find any workers in the last several months. Dunkin donuts, that my daughter is working part time, is hiring right now. But nobody is applying. Still, trade deficits are skyrocketing, the government and corporate debt levels are off the charts. Do you still hope to "return to normal"???

I have a friend who runs a distribution center for a large clothing company. He is in the same boat. He has over 100 positions open. People don't want to work because the unemployment and stimulus benefits are too good right now. If you are only going to make$12-$15 an hour, you may as well stay home until the benefits run out. Crazy times.
