We are going to see a bullwhip effect [1], it's just where and when it happens. I heard two things this morning about more car shortages (due to chips), Manheim auto auction has had extremely low volume this year, cars going at auction for more than they sold at retail 3 years ago. Some of this I think is sticky (I don't see new car dealers lowering their prices or being willing to negotiate quickly), others though I think will have a drop as inventory picks up.

Sell high buy low. I just don't know what to sell at the moment.
