the "new" price for PRS and Gibson are almost level.
probably the reason why more people have gibsons instead of PRS is because PRS is relatively new and all the "older" PRS guitars that are limited in number have been scooped up for investment value.
so therefore, most of the used stuff you see are still priced as close to new anyway.
that said, most hi-end, hi-value guitars keep their value.
reason why PRS is priced at close to 200K in the philippines is cuz the dealer selling them probably didn't buy a lot of guitars and therefore, no bulk discount? maybe im guessing here.
go to the US and the choice is probably easier as these guitars are priced close enough.
