Talking about my local market (Germany), the "analog" bike market is slowly dying, as everyone is now crazy with ebikes (folding, MTB, cargo,... al kinds are booming). Basically only the super cheap or collectible sell. The 200€ to €1000 market does not move.
I only sell in my local classifieds as I hate posting, but the market is inundated with trekking bikes (German for hybrids) that just don't move as everyone is switching to ebikes. You can also start to see ebikes from the first wave being on sale, unexpectedly at very low prices as nobody wants the hassle of a 10y old battery (new batteries from reputable brands start at €500).
I see a small resurgence in steel classy hybrids (the new hipster target for "gravel conversions"), think Multitracks, Crossroads, etc or rare brands with high perceived value (Koga Miyata, Kuwahara, Bontrager,...)
