Interesting times as a person who’s wilfully disconnected from most social chatter - six months ago it was easy to see the gap between what people were saying about financial restraint vs what they were actually doing; now there’s a lot more bunkering down so the visual clues aren’t there. IOW, are these current sellers asking higher but still settling for the older prices…
When I start seeing shipping container prices coming down to where they were, I'll believe we have achieved normalization.
