I tried a Capa MA sig and was it nice? Yeah, it was very nice, but did it justify a $3200 price tag or whatever it cost when it was basically a Japanese made Jackson with a fancy headstock on it? Not in my book. I'd rather find an old Jackson Falcon and get the same features at a lower price point and have it be on par with it.
That's just me though

Used Caparisons still hold a good chunk of their value, especially with the higher stuff like the AppleHorns and the aforementioned (CORRECTED) CHRIS Amott signature, so it's still FAR more than I'd be comfortable paying for unlike the other guitar I compared it to.
I believe any Capa could hold more of a value if people held out for the right buyer. Remember, the used value of a guitar depends on the buyer and their perceived value of the guitar; so I wonder how much of the "low resale value" of the Capa's is essentially a self-fulfilled prophesy. Pardon my ignorance, but I think people will pay whatever they think the guitar is worth AND how much they want it and are willing to pay for it. I know it also doesn't help that not a lot of people in the guitar market really know about Caparison, so there's really just a small group of us that really want and seek out a Capa. But if you hold out and wait and sell at a higher reasonable price, you can help change the perception that resale is low value.
I get why Carvins have a low resale value -- because essentially you can buy a brand new guitar for just a bit more with your own specs that you want. But I don't see why resale SHOULD be low for a Caparison, considering they are one of the "elite" premiere guitar manufacturers, and is such a high-quality Japanese-made instrument.
