Why so many Hegel's for sale?

I'm seeing a ton of Hegel units on the used market, especially the big daddy H590.  It seem to be a race to the bottom in terms of sellers trying to unload these things.  Nothing but good reviews online, but something must be up.  I have never owned one, but have always been intrigued.  The resale value though is always a concern for me as I swap out equipment every 6 months or so.
Any thoughts on these positive or negative?

@jjss49 ,
The point is/was that the gear itself is sometimes not the factor. Everyone forgets the human element. Factor that in and you'll have myriad reasons why something is on sale or kept for the long haul, which is a round about way of saying, who can really say.

All the best,
Nonoise

And yet it's hard to find a Hegel 160 for sale. Those are almost always keepers

@simao 

h160 nice unit... as is the rost (which i still have and love on a second system driving harbeths)
h90-160-360 dac sections lagging now, which is why hegel is updating the models
but amp sections still among the very best sounding - just superb

Not surprising that MC feels Adam Smith stands alone in economic theory. But the right cherry picks what they want from the so-called champion of free markets. What they don't want to acknowledge is that one of Smith's greatest fears was not that the government would dictate the management of the economy, but what he feared would happen when the Captains of Industry (I had to put that in) took control of the government.
